Ok, wise friends. If I know somebody's teen is suicidal, what do I do?

[QUOTE="klmno, post: 469870, member: 3699"] What if Jumper went to J and told him that she is really concerned about him and cares a lot so she wants him to find someone appropriate to talk to about this and if he doesn't, she feels she has no option but to tell a guidance counselor or someone who can help him more than she can? That way, she isn't betraying him, she's letting him know she cares, she is encouraging him to get help, but letting him know that if he doesn't, she can't carry the responsibility of keeping a secret like this and cares too much about him tto take that risk on his behalf. It isn't just that it could/would be stressful for Jumper to be J's emotional lifeline, in my humble opinion, it would be encouraging codependency to allow it. What DDD said before about this made a lot of sense to me. Jumper doesn't need her first girlfriend/boyfriend relationship to be emotional dependency because it could leave her with that tendency or doG forbid, thinking that is the norm. [/QUOTE]
