I practicly got a suicide note just now, from someone I know personly, on a different forum! She says she wants to die, and SOON!

I pray that Its not too late, and that she will stop getting the same thoughts I had....there was hope for me...I know God can save her!

I'll be praying. Get a hold of all your friends. The best way in attempting to stop a suicide attempt is with a group, not one-one one. Again, I'll be praying. GOOD LUCK!

I agree with K. Ayato, get a group of loving people together and prevent the loss of a life! God's love can save so much and bring healing to so much pain, suicide does not need to happen. Convey the Lord's tender care to that person. I will pray.

I will be praying. I know someone very close who attemped suicide a coulpe times. Both times he should have dies, but God miraculously saved him, and now he is doing better. I will pray that she doesn't do anything, but I will also pray that God will protect her in any circumstance.

I'll pray too. I've learned that it's actually pretty difficult to kill yourself though. I'll pray that if she does attempt to kill herself she'll fail and that God will help her to see that life is the most precious gift He has given us.

"Lord, you said that if anyone asks, he shall receive, if any man knocks, the door will be opened. I am begging that you not let this girl fall prey to the devil's lies that suicide is the way out. Let her feel your presence as we all gather together in prayer for her. Don't let her die, PLEASE!"

My guess is she wrote the note to get reassurance that people care. Why else write the note? That's usually the case. But at the same time, you never know....

I'll be praying. Showing compassion is sometimes the best relief.... Just reassure them that you and others do care. I hope things work out.

I had a roommate who attempted suicide everyonce in a while. She had a mental illness and when she got depressed she would cut herself and she had to be hauled off for suicide watch many times. The last time she tried before she ended up having to drop out of universtiy and go back to live with her grandmother she almost suceeded when she took a bottle of pain releviers. If your friend is feeling suicidal pray but also act. Talk to your friedn and be there for your friend and if they really are suicidal get help. I will pray.

I haven't had a personal experience with a suicidal freind, but, I can see, probably, how you are feeling. As everyone is saying, I will pray for you freind. I hope she doesn't attempt it, but you can never be sure. I DON'T want to sound negative, but God may have a bigger plan. . .. . . my cousin died and now every one, like her sister and her family, her brother, and her mom are going to church. .. .. .... ... .. . .. . I will pray!

Still praying. Yeah, I know what you mean by her probably wanting to just get more attention from people by stating what she said, but with suicide, you have to take it seriously.

A teen I know carves gashes into her arms to get "attention". It's sad. Her arms are covered with scars.

I hope that she will realize that talking about suicide or something isn't the way to get attention. I feel sorry for her. She must have a lot of hard stuff she's going through. I'll be praying.

Well, I had sent her some encouragement the day she said it, and the next day, but she didnt respond...till today...
She is still alive, thank GOD!...I pray that it will remain that way!

Lord help this young person to see that you are their hope and life. We can not rely on anything else in this world, it all changes, passes away, moves on. Jesus you alone are Holy, consistant, righteous, you alone are worthy of all praise and power. I pray Lord that this young girl be lifte up in her spirit and that she see that her reason for living is you and that when she finds you you will rebuild her life and make her into the person that you see her to be.
Lord my she know that she is a wonderful person and that Christians around her would share your Love and Grace to/with her.

This is good news!.....I just got a bulletin by her in MySpace. The title was "I got a new crush"...had stuff like "if you have a crush, or love someone, repost this" ect. If she didnt, she would'nt have posted that...I even think the fact that the person she liked was moving away, was why she acted all suicidal...maybe now she will have some of a reason to keep moving...even though its just a crush...and we all know how they get they're name....
