What can I say?

[TheOne]

my friend just told me he thinks his girlfriend will break up with him soon, he also said he will kill himself if she did.

What do i say?

[kiahrose31]

theres not much you can say to him. you've just got to let him know you're there for him to lean on.

[rosie1]

yeah let him know that you care about him and you will always be there

[Wandering Soul]

ya know i can't help myself. tell him to do it. see if he does.

Well for one, I hope he hasn't told his girlfriend that because he has no right to put her in that position.
As for you all you can say if that you'll be there for him etc.

He didn't, he just told me.

You need to slap him upside the head and say (assuming he is also 16):

'You are 16 years old and are thinking of killing yourself over a girl...yes it is as stupid as it sounds!'

were all young yet, theres way too much in life ahead, girls come and girls go, it hurts but its nothing worth stopping the potential happiness of the rest of your life. comfort your friend, just make sure he knows stuff like that just isnt clever.

You know when you didn't eat your vegetables as a child and your mother gave out and told you there were millions of children in Africa with nothing to eat..
You need to let your friend know that there are lots of people out there who have gone through exactly what he has, and some people have never even had a girlfriend. Let him ponder upon that as he sulks in the corner.
On a more serious note, there is always more than one reason for someone to commit suicide. You friend would not just kill himself for a girl. If he has other problems you know about, help him with those. The majority of people who commit suicide do tell someone first and it's usually just a plea for help. They don't really want to take their life.. they want help and understanding from their friends.

Everybody pretty much summed it up!
Good luck though...

[piax]

Tbh.. I think someone may kill themselves over a girl/boy..

[conor]

If every other part of their lives was great, they wouldn't.

[TheOne]

I would.
I know it's completely stupid and irrational.
But I have a pretty good life, except for all the death.
But if anything happened to a certain person in my life I don't know what I'd do.
She just means so much to me.

If he's thinking of killing himself over a girl, there are one of two scenarios (in my experience).

1. There are other things in his life that bother him, and breaking up with the girl is just a stressor to make him act on his depression. In which case, I would advise you (as stated before), to let him know you're there for him, and maybe try to get him to tell you what else is bothering him?

2. I wouldn't have even included this except I've had to deal with it recently. That is, if his decision is motivated entirely by this girl, your friend is obsessed. This is highly unlikely, but like I said, it does happen. If she breaks up with him, watch him, and make sure he leaves the poor girl alone.

GAH tell him hes being pathetic. Just be there for him. Tell him hes got his whole life ahead of him, there will be plenty more girls, hes got his friends, family etc and all that jazz.
