show the authorities proof too. text messages, emails, instant messages

get them to call a suicide hotline
if they refuse tell their parents or someone who can contact their parents
They might hate you but it's okay. You're keeping them from ending their life. -
hawk : ill look into doing so, thank you!
kait : thanks! this helped
dark : ive seriously been contemplating calling 911 or a suicide hotline in the past month. i've told my mom about it and we're looking in to calling her local defacs due to her being neglected and emotionally abused. as of now im encouraging her to just calm down and do something that relaxes her. this isnt the first time she's brought up suicide. im extremely worried as of now, she really needs medical help. i'll be on the lookout, if she says anything suicide related tomorrow im calling my mom, heing her call my gf's parents and ill try to get her to call a suicide hotline. -
I've read a ton about a ton of stories where teenagers kill themselves because there girlfriend/boyfriend or friends. If one of your friends ever says they are going to shoot up a school or something you may be liable if you don't tell anyone. Suicide seems like a grey area. I was suicidal and I never called a hotline. Everyone will probably be really angry with you if you called 911 but if you are that worried, what else can you do?

thats very true
but im sure once they saw the light of it they'd feel a ton better aboyut the situation and the fact you saved their life. i dont care if calling 911 would make my gf hate me, i'd just be glad she was still alive. we basically have a blood pact. if she goes down, i go down -

i helped someone call 911 on my ex. they were emotionally abusive, still are, but I never once regret it.
please do make sure to talk to your mom, it's okay to panic. even if they've said things like that before it's better to be safe than sorry -
doublepost is my bad
thanks dark. she's calmed down a lot now and her friend is calming down as well, so we're hoping for the best. i'll keep all of this in mind in case something similar happens in the future.
