Suicide is a scary subject. Some people are in so much pain that they do not want to continue living. If you are thinking about suicide or you are concerned about a friend, it is important to get help right away. Some warning signs that someone may be thinking about suicide are:
talking about suicide - saying things like “I would be better off dead” or “I can’t handle this anymore”
significant changes in behavior and appearance
signs of depression
giving away possessions
If you are concerned about a friend, it is a good idea to ask them how they have been doing and whether they have thought about suicide. They are not going to get the idea to kill themselves just by you asking. They actually may be thankful that they have someone to talk to about their feelings. The next step is to help your friend get help. With help, things can get better. Do not ever promise your friend that you will keep this a secret. Suicide is not something to take lightly and keep a secret. Find someone you can trust like a teacher, pastor, parent, or counselor and talk with them about your concerns.
