If your friend asks you to keep these thoughts a secret, let them know you care about them and need to share this with a trusted adult. It may feel like you’re betraying your friend, but you should always tell a trusted adult. Share your concerns with an adult as soon as possible.
If you have a friend who’s talking about suicide or showing other warning signs, don’t wait to see if they start to feel better. Talk about it. Ask them directly if they’re having thoughts of suicide. Having someone care enough to ask these questions can help save your friend’s life. Some people (both teens and adults) are reluctant to ask teens if they’ve been thinking about suicide or hurting themselves. They might worry that, by asking, they’re planting the idea of suicide. Research has proven this to be 100% untrue. If you’re worried ask.
