What your friend needs is a support. She may not be getting that at home...... If shes thinking about suside she should see somebody about it. She is prolly very likely depressed and this may be able to be solved with the help of a doctor. You need to convince her to go. A doctor may be able to put her on some kind of medication for it.

Also, let her know that you will be her support. When she needs somebody you have to let her know you are there day or night and that she can talk to you with out judgement. Just be ther for her. She is going through a extreamly hard time and may feel all alone and unloved. Make her see that this is not the truth, that you love her and that you care enough about her that you want her to be better and live a happy life.

Keep reminding her that taking her life is not the way out of things. Its perminent and there is no comming back. No matter how bad things seem they CAN get better.

It will prolly take a fair bit of effort on your part but the rewards for helping a friend through such a hard time are tremendous. Good luck.

Be there, and maybe even tell somebody about this, anonomously of course. Let her vent on you if she needs to, sometimes people need to release emotions, and that's what friends are for. As far as the sex goes... tell her to be careful if she choses to continue along that path. Most of all, good luck, this maybe a tough time for your relationship with eachother, but try not to give up, she needs you now most of all.
