Suicide

My Friend is Talking About Suicide.

Depending on resources and coping skills, your friend may feel so overwhelmed and hopeless that s/he may consider suicide as a means of stopping their pain. Most suicides are preventable. Most suicide victims do not want to die, they just want to stop the pain.

Your friend may feel so pressured by academics, parental expectations, family problems, relationships, legal or substance abuse problems, that may be acute or have accumulated over time until they feel totally overwhelmed. Help your friend get help.
