You can’t make anybody do anything. But you can tell an adult that both of you trust (parent, teacher, councilor, etc.) and he or she can go through the appropriate channels to get your friend some professional help. It is not your burden to save her from herself.

Well um…don’t let her kill herself…that would be retarded!

So here’s what you CAN do. You could leave her alone and let her handle it and give advice to her when she wants it and help her.

Or what you SHOULD DO. Is grow a pair and call someone. Put her on suicide watch and don’t let her out of your sight. She might say stay out of it but that is just her retarded side coming out. She really doesn’t want you to leave she wants your attention.
