How to keep someone from commiting suicide?

My best friend, lets say her name was Skylar, just had her heart broken. She has had an off and on relationship for the past school year with her boyfriend, Cameron. This morning, a girl dragged cameron over to Skylar and yelled "Listen, Skylar. I think you are a *Cuss word* and so does Cameron. We hate the way you have been treating him. Your relationship is OVER!" And Cameron and the girl walked off laughing. Skylar cried the whole day, but after school, Cameron ran up to ashley, hugged her, and said "I love you" and kissed her. She has been hurt so badly, she is debating her life. PLEASE HELP ME CONVINCE HER TO LIVE!!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH

    Tell her parents and tell her to see the school guidance counselor or psychologist. Even if it probably is just a cry for attention, comfort her because you never know

    Be there for her as much as you can. Tell her that you are her friend and you will always be there for her. Tell her you, her parents would be very sad if she killed herself.

    Do things with her to get her mind off of it. Get her to watch funny shows/movies/videos.

    Take her somewhere for a while; do something with her that she really likes to do.

    Tell her if she wants to talk to someone slse about it she can.
