Question

If you had a friend as Mike who confided in you that he was contemplating suicide, what steps could you take to prevent such a thing from happening?

Answer 1

Comfort him, reassure him the reasons to stay. Talk about the positives of living. Do not pressure or guilt him on staying alive. Tell a trusted adult or school counselor. 

Answer 2

Make him feel more special and more important (you probably already do this but he may not feel as if some do) also everyday you should probably check up on him, say things like “good morning” or throughout the day, just ask how they are, the little things really do count ❤️
