So this is kind of a depressing subject to touch upon but i just got off the phone with a friend which told me he was having suicidal thoughts. I cant imagine why he would think this if he has the best family and friends. He says he isnt living with his parents anymore. His mother is leaving out of the country tomorrow and hes lonely all the time. Hes living with an uncle that is more like a stranger. This is all bad but the way i see it is that it can only get better and no matter what he has his friends beside him. But I guess everyone has a suicidal thought once in their life but im really worried about him. I gave him the best advice I could give him but really what am I supposed to say? Does he try to keep himself busy all the time? surround himself by friends? family?
It was extremely hard for me to hear these words coming out of his mouth. I dont understand why anyone would want to end their life? Yes life is hard at times but it always gets better. It isnt anything you cant live through.
If anyone has any suggestions that I can possibly tell him please share.

IDK what to tell you. Try asking him more questions to get a better understanding because there might be more to it than just living with an uncle and no longer living with parents. Sometimes having good friends and family arent enough. He could just be unhappy with himself and if so, then only he can help himself. Honestly there isnt much you can do except be there for him. Oh and prayer always helps. :)
Okay well for one thing you are going in the right direction with being optimistic and all, but it seems to me that he needs more than that. He is viewing life in a dark and negative way, simply lost hope, but you can change that. Suicidal people crave attention and since his mom left and his dad isn't there, then there is no one, except his friends. You care about this guy, right, so just give him attention and show him the "BRIGHT" side, take him out to clubs, parties, get togethers, and what not. P.S. Good Luck
Wow, I feel for him. I hope this doesn't end badly
WOW i feel bad for your friend. however your right, we all fell like killing ourselfs at one point. but let him know that your there for him and so are his friends. make him feel like he is everything
