A friend of mine tried to commit suicide two weeks ago. I was brought up in a rather safe environment, so I've never dealt with this situation before. I have no idea what to do or what to say. I'm angry that I feel so powerless. What should I do?

Be there for him/her is one step. Honestly could you be more specific why did he/she tried to commit suicide? Easiest way to get through with it would be to go down the core of the problem and solve it. Just telling bullshit like itll be alright and tell them to find beauty in life isnt really necessarily going to work if the problem remains. Itll just silently fuel the pain , sorrow and hate and will lead him to well a real fucking suicide. So if you could , please explain a little.
Incase you don't want to for some reason , what you could do is to make him/her find a solution to get over their inner hate/sorrow/anger whatever is driving them towards suicide. Finding whatever calms them down is one good thing and saying sincerely that you care about that person and don't want them to do something like that helps too , somewhat , however as I said , knowing the actual problem would be easier for me to actually reply.
Oh and dont be angry, that causes even more problems.

My friend has horrible depression because of her dad who left her at a small age and because of genetics. We usually talk a lot, but lately she has been trying to avoid that subject. Should I press her further and refuse any subject changers and tell her how I feel?

Telling her how you feel certainly will help, if she trusts you and believes you it works.
Genetics tho? I can only assume what could the other problems be , but either way comfort her. People are who they are and for most part we can't change the way we look or issues that come with genetics and well explain her that she has managed to get so far without her pops and apparently she doesnt need him that much.If you understand what I mean. You just try to distant her from the source of her pain.
If she is longing to see her dad , but you know in reality its most likely that she will not , tell her what a great person she has grown without him and maybe one day she will see him again. But there really is no reason to let herself be embraced by all this negativity and just dwell into pain.
Drag her out of it , be her guide in this and I'm sure you'll both be fine. Also psychologist will help, it has helped people I know before and most get help from there. It might be difficult to get her into going there but well It will work I believe , they are experts afterall .
Either way , Good luck !
