Hi, I don't know how brief this is gonna be but I'll get straight onto it.

My friend said shes suicidual. And I mean yeah I believe her, and she goes through some awful shit. But she won't talk to anyone. I've said I'll talk for her. Consuelling, parents anything, and I'm there. I'm doing A-levels so I don't have an awful lot of time. Shes 19 but she doesn't really know what shes doing in life. I've asked her to talk to someone, samaritans anything but shes refusing. I know you can't do much more than that, but I couldn't think about what would happen if she'd died and me knowing I could've stopped it.

I don't really care if she hates me if I talk to someone about it. But I just don't want to. Is there anything else I could do?! I don't really want to. The other people she wants to talk to it is illegal for them to keep it a secret, and they hve other issues of their own.

She didn't want me to tell anyone, and I feel partly guilty going on here but I just...eugh I dunno!

K, thank you. I spoke to my superindendant about it and however much I feel guilty about it, I know I'd feel worse if she died and I knew I could've done something about it.
