He told me yesterday that he couldnt be with me anymore and i've been trying to stay with him. But about an hour ago, he text me telling me he has a letter for me and that i need to go get it tomorrow. I knew straight away what it was about when he told me that he didnt want me to read it till i got home. Now he knows by the time i get home, there is nothing i can do to stop it happening as it will take me an hour to get home via two buses. He's told me before that he was going to do it and i've mangaed to speak to him about it and talked him out of it but this time, he's wrote a letter for me. We go back to school on tuesday (we're 17) and he said he's doing it tomorrow. How can i go back to school which is my last year without him? And knowing he's going to do it? What do i do? I dont know what to do :(

hi,



I know this is really tough and I know you'll probably feel as though you're betraying him but if I were you, I would call the police/ambulance service if you are sure he is going to do something stupid. Tell them the situation and they will get straight to his house and take it from there.

I know you won't want to do this, but do you want to live with the guilt that you could have done something to save him? I'm not trying to sound harsh or scare you but please, please do something.

Where I'm from, suicide calls are taken very seriously, so hopefully it's the same in the area you live in.



Stay strong! xoxox

If you were genuinely worried for his life, and were sure that he defiantly has a plan and intent, and it's not just a cry for help, then call the police/ambulance, if you're not 100% sure but are very concerned let his parents know, she's his mother do you really think that if her child were contemplating suicide she'd just say oh i'm at work sorry.

'if i call the police he will just get annoyed at me'

at least he'll be alive to be annoyed

Tell your parents. Tell his parents. Call the Police or a suicide hotline. Do all three.



It may just be a teenage cry for attention, and i wouldn't be able to tell in this situation. But you cant be expected to be able to help him on your own. He needs his family or at least professional emotional support. Do this right away! please!



Life is too precious.

Tell his mum and dad, make them watch him 24/7. And if you think he'll get mad at you, just think whats worse?

Call a suicide hotline, and tell them everything in detail. Let them handle it.
