I gather that you are a teen. If so, tell someone NOW! Tell one of your parents, tell his parents, tell a school counselor -- just tell someone who can help you get him some help. He may be upset with you at first, but it is better to have a live upset friend than someone who kills himself.
If your are an adult and this is an adult friend, try to talk him into talking to someone -- his doctor, a counselor, etc... His job may offer free mental health counseling, or if he can't afford other counseling, there are probably local places where he can get low cost counseling. A doctor may think that an anti-depressant may help him.
In either case whether you are a teen or an adult, you should be able to call your local suicide crisis hotline and tell the people there about the situation and ask what the best way to get help for that person is. If you explain the full situation to them, they are trained to deal with people in crisis and would know the best way for you to help him.

If he really means to do this and isn't just saying it to get attention then nothing you do will change his mind. However, on the off chance that you might be able to help you need to find a professional so here are a few places to start.
Good luck and remember, if he does go through with this, it was his choice and you did what you could to prevent it.

Corey your chum had issues way previous something you have carried out to help.whether you had long gone to hold out this might have in all likelihood occurred faster or later.you mustn't spend your existence with him each 2nd so do not blame your self.that's quite unhappy yet there isn't something you're able to do.His father and mom curiously did not understand how depressed he became the two or they might have helped too. it quite is a competent lesson to those that as quickly as they are that unhappy they could desire to attain out and ask for help and be specific approximately how they are feeling.

Hi my friend killed himself 4 days ago now and it was his 4Th attempt i have been in your situation and what i found was just to listen to him and talk to him and remind him that he has friends and family that care about him and that if he does kill himself well he will be hurting the ones that love him most and also tell him to call the kids help line and talk to someone

With out telling him what you are planning to do you must report it and quick. Many times we don't listen to the cry for help and we let it go and don't realize that we could have helped. At a funeral is when all that will hit you. If you love him as a friend then do it don't wait it might be to late...

You need to show him you care, I don't mean "love" just you care in a friendly way. Help him move out of this dip if you just have to go out for coffee or something once in a while. If that still doesn't help get councling for him, (local authorities usually can help with this)

Anyone contemplating suicide is NOT going to tell another person, they are just going to do it. Sounds like he is looking for attention. The best thing to do is to let his parents know what he said and see if they can get him some counseling. Whatever you do - dont let him suck you into this.

Contact his relatives. If he's in school contact his guidance councilor and favorite teacher. Let the people closest to him KNOW and tell them they better be CONCERNED. He may need medication and/or therapy. You can't take responsibility for him. You can only be there and care.

Be a friend and get him help, there are a lot of professionals out there to help. Find them and get him some help
Good Luck

TELL HIS PARENTS!!!
suicide threats are sometimes not just threats... you really need to talk to his parents...and perhaps let them know what you think the problems are with him.
if they haven't noticed by now that their son has issues, they must be rather stupid... i guess someone needs to tell them.
be a good friend and do just that. hugs
