My best friend told me that she wants to kill herself! She even showed me a book about how she was going to do it! I told an adult right away! The said they were gonna get her help.
Before I told an adult I showed one of her friends...who ended up blabbing it to everyone. I feel really bad that everyone knows her business. She is mad at me because I told her I don’t really think she wants to kill herself.
I also told her that I think she is just trying to get a shoulder to cry on. I said I would always be there her I just don’t like the way she was asking me! Now what?
You did the right thing by telling an adult. Talk to your friend (the one who blabbed) about what she did and explain that you told her about your mutual friend’s problem in confidence (news flash: that means you thought she'd keep it a secret!). You might want to tell the blabber that you’ll have a hard time trusting her in the future, since she shared your friend’s very personal problem with so many people.
Next, explain to your best friend how sorry you are that it got out to so many people, but that you were just trying to get help. Try not to make her problems seem smaller or tell her that she doesn’t really want to kill herself. Even if you believe it’s true, such statements will hurt her and make her trust you less. Then, explain again that you’re always there for her, that you want to help her, and that you would be so incredibly sad if you ever lost her as a friend.
Suggest that whenever she gets depressed or feels suicidal again, that she call you, an adult she trusts, or a suicide hotline CLICK HERE for more information on help lines. That way, someone can help her talk through her problems and concerns and prevent anything dangerous from happening.

Last year i had real depression, like medicine, doctors, thearapist, the whole bit. I would think about killing myself. One time in school we were talking about murder (i go to a christian school) and my classmate asked if suicide was murder. My teacher said it was, because it is not your life to take, because God has a plan for you. From then on, i never though about killing myself, though i did pray that God would take me away. What helps is to have something to look forward to, and get yourself really hyped up about it. Then you won't wanna kill yourself because you have something to look forward to. Yeah, so that's my advise to anyone who is going through suicidal thoughts.

Why would you EVER tell another friend about that? I mean, duh, you should tell an adult but that doesn't include telling the entire school. I hope you're good at apologizing and damage control.

hey im having a little bit of friend troule... this girl and I had a huge fight for about 3 months then we became friends.. About a week ago we got in to another fight and i was the one tht said sorry and she said she wouldnt blame things on me bcuz she always does.... then a few days ago she thought tht i open and closed her door in the moring before school to scare her... And i told her i didnt and she still didnt believe me.. so i didnt talk 2 her for a day and then i said i was sorry for getting mad at her... but shouldnt she say sorry 2 me, for blaming something on me when i didnt do it... should i talk to her???

It was good that you tolf an adult, but you shouldn't have told classmates. You should appologize and regain your friends trust. Check out my profile; I give the best advice! God Bless!

GO VEGETARIAN! For more info, request it at my profile Smile Save the animals, be healthy, and stop global warming by going vegetarian. I have been a vegetarian for a year and 5 months.What is it? A vegetarian is when your diet contains no meat. How does it save animals? It obviously helps to stop the slautering of animals such as cows and chicken. How can you eat them when they are so cute (they are your friends).How does it improve your health? It cuts out lots of fat and chlosteral and records show that vegetarian have a lower risk of obesity and diseases.Plus, reduces your chance of diseases and cancer. How does it stop global warming? Lots of energy is used in meat factories and butchering. The factory also creates pollution. It also kills trees so there is room for farms that kill animals for profit. Please help and go to my profile! Thanks for reading this! -Aubrey Allie S.

YOU WROTE IT
It was a strange scent, faintly familiar, like the perfume my mother used to wear. The aroma lingered around me, smelling like dried sunflowers and a soft touch of the new spring air.
