He just randomly said to me that he wanted to kill myself and I kept asking him why, but he wouldn't tell me. He always tells me about this kind of thing so when he didn't it alarmed me.
Later during our after school club he said that he wanted to be like some boy named V***** (haha, vagina is what you thought if you had a dirty mind, so back to being serious...) He said he wanted to be like this boy and that he cut himself with his ID to the point that blood came out. My friend was doing the same thing and he was hurting himself during the club and I just don't know what to do. V***** is E******** (my friend's crush) crush. So I don't know if my friend is trying to be like him or if he really has a problem. Please help me out.

I doubt he'll kill himself but he's being a total dick if he's making sure you know he's hurting himself. If he's going to do that shit, knowing it's going to guilt you, tell an authority. His parents. Or some suicide hotline person. Dont just put up with it because you don't want him to be angry. There are chances reporting him to anyone would get him pissed but he seems kinda shitty anyway.

>>2 thank you. He isn't such a great friend, but I've known him for three years and apparently I'm the friend he goes to all his problems for and I guess now I feel obligated to helping him.

New information I've obtained just now: My friend Direct Messaged me through twitter and said it had to do with P.E., but I don't believe him. Everyone at school hates P.E., but we understand that some things can't be helped and he knows better than anyone because he knows the tricks of the trade to that school. It's just so confusing. I'm so confused.

Your friend doesn't want to kill himself, he just wants attention and is basically asking you unconsciously to help him. Someone who would have really wanted to kill themselves would have done so without telling anyone, don't you think?

From a suicidal past he isn't suicidal. He wouldn't have made a scratch with an ID. He would have used a knife and the cuts would be getting deeper and deeper. Also a suicidal person doesn't ask for help until usually the last moments. It isn't outright saying help me, but more along the lines of seeing if anyone cares about their input or opinion on something minor. They wouldn't flaunt there cuts, for that would make it more difficult in killing themselves. Everyone would try to get help for them and no one suicidal truly wants that annoying bullshit.

From what it sounds like he just wants attention. Start worrying if he ends up secluding himself and getting pissed at the thought of someone cheering him up. Also when one is that depressed they don't care at all what happens to them because they don't have the energy, or will, to do so.

I would make it known that this is worrying you and causing you stress.it's unfair of him to cause you all this trouble without thinking about what happens to you

Even if he is just looking for attention its better to be safe then sorry. I've been in your situation and this is what I did. I researched what signs to look for if someone is planning to commit suicide and learned try and talk them out of suicide. the best thing to do is confront him about it and give him the number to a crisis center or suicide hotline. Those guys are pros they will know how to handle it.

>>6 This person is right on point right.

He'll grow out of that faze, he's just struggling to accept things but not to the point to commit suicide. He's just putting physical pain b/c he doesn't want to think about it. Just offer him help or just be there as a friend and ignore it.
