hi, thanks for commenting! we’ll give you the best advice we can. we obviously aren’t professionals, so the ideal thing to do is to tell an adult/professional you trust if you are in a situation where that would be helpful. the first thing you need to do is to communicate with your friend. see if they’re open to talking about it, and make sure he knows you’re there for him and you care about him. if he denies being in a bad place and you’re still worried about him, talk to a professional/ adult about your concerns, and make sure he knows you just want to help. make yourself approachable so if he decides he wants to talk, he knows he can go to you. if he wants to talk, tell him how many people care about him, and how devastated they would be at his loss. next, make sure he always something to look forward to in the future. if someone or something is making him feel his way, attempt to problem-solve to give him hope for the future. talk/text with him often, and, if possible, hang out with him more to keep his mind off things. distractions are a useful tool. you need to keep him distracted from things that might be making him feel this way until you can find a permanent solution. in addition to the national suicide hotline (1-800-273-8255) there’s also a national crisis textline where he can communicate with professionals without having to speak on the phone: text HOME to 741741. finally, if something does go wrong, it’s never your fault. your only job is to be a supportive friend. keep us posted, and if you need any more help, you know where to find us.

just a notice that you are currently following an account that promotes hate (@patwo) unfollowing them would be a good idea!❤️

^at that time they weren’t terrible, but they have become something not ok...
