a little about him-yes I know.
he has a girlfriend. she uses him. but hes put up with it for 3 years. now hes fed up with her and wants to leave. he told her it was over. and they eventually f***ed each other by the pool. the first time he called me he said that there was no point to life and that no one would care.
I TRIED TO TELL HIM I CARED AND SO DID MY FRIEND. AND THAT IF HE DIES EVERYONE WOULD BE HURT. he's the kinda guy that isnt joking when he says stuff like this either (and before anyone can make any comments about how I'm 14...he's 17.) he called me and stayed on the phone with me for 3 hours because i wouldnt let him go. I was terrified that he was gonna do it. I CRIED to him and BEGGED him not to.
that was last week.
now he told his girlfriend that he wants to kill himself. and she didnt care and flirted with some other guy. now he's dodging traffic on a busy street as we speak. i know he wont die from getting hit by a car...but that just means that HES REALLY SERIOUS. I LIVE BY THIS STREET AND IM WATCHING HIM RIGHT NOW.
hes kept me sane for the whole 4 years I've known him. if he kills himself I'll need alot of therapy and i dont want to have to tell a psychiatrist about some of the things that go through my head.

Now-how serious am I?
He gave me the password to his sacred computer.
He gave me some CDs of his that he thought I'd like.
He's told me everything he wanted me to tell his girlfriend when he was gone.
He's giving me pieces of advice that are like.......not things that people should say.
He refuses to talk to me about how he's gonna do it because i asked him and he scared me (which made me cry)

help please...
i dont want him to die...
i dont want to be screwed up for the rest of my life...

Okay, he can die getting hit by a car, I don't see how he'd live.
Also, didn't he break up with his girlfriend? Why'ed they have sex after that?


And well.....and can't say much different then what you've already been told. Get him out of the streets, convince him that you need him, and try to make his life seem brighter.

or what u can do is take him out to different places and show your friend a good time. that helps and it usually gets their minds off of things.

Try anything that will tell him that you care, I still don't understand why people do that. *frowns* I know that I have my any down in the dumps moments. But then again, everyone does. There's days in the sun moments, then there's days were you just want to give up.

But you have to push past the hard times, that makes the good times just all the better. After all, like this one song I happen to be listening to at the current moment. Below is some of the lyrics.

I've had my moments, days in the sun. Moments I was second to none, moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do. Like that plane ride coming home from the war, that summer my son was born; and memories like a coat so warm. A cold wind can't get through, lookin' at me now you might not know it. But I've had my moments.

I can only agree with others, you have to try hard to tell him that you care. Take him out somewhere away from his problems, he needs to get his mind off of things.
