Prayer and Advice for a friend...

I need some advice for how to deal with a situation that has arisen with a friend of mine from high school. It's actually kind of strange... had a dream last night that I looked at his livejournal and I checked it today and he has a written a post stating his plans to kill himself. I completely intend to confront him about this but should I go ahead and inform his mother now or wait till I've spoken to him? Should I contact anyone else? Perhaps a pastor or maybe a counselor?

I've known for a while that he struggles with depression and I know he's on meds for it, he also talks quite often about death and things like that, but he's a bit of a drama queen and I had not felt I had a reason to worry until now. I'd greatly appreciate prayer and advice.

I say notify ALL those people immediately. That's what I would do.

It's very serious =[
Tell his family, even if it is a "cry wolf" kind of thing.

Notify peoples.

I big time agree.

You need to tell all of the above.

Thanks guys, I'm informing his mother. I'm sure he'll be angry with me but I hope it turns out for the best.

The fact that you're telling his parents even though you know he'll be mad.....would that everybody had such a friend! :)
