My friend suffer from a serious depression problem. He doesn't got any friends in school (i met him on the internet) and his parents are very arrogant and stupid. Yesterday he told me he was going to leave home without anybody know, he will pick some clothes and all his money and go away.
I really want to help him because if he leave home he can get killed or worse... but i really don't know what to do, they parents are REALLY bad people.
What should i say?

If he suffers from a depressive illness he needs professional help.
You can't really help him.

I'm so sorry to hear that your friend is having a hard time. You mentioned below that they are only 15 & with not much money. That is not a safe situation at all. Please encourage your friend to speak with a trusted adult, like a school counselor or someone from their church or religious organization. While your friend wants to get away, they also must stay safe.

according to me....his depression is adding fuel to fire...if his parents are really very stupid ,bad and arrogant...i won't really ask him to stay with them...instead he can stay with some adult..but i think someone needs to accompany him all the time...cuz..depression is really very bad....out of depression he may adopt unfair means too...
with a friend...nearby... he would feel better...n comfortable...
