What to do if a Loved One is Suicidal

You should listen and talk to them constantly. Ask a lot of questions about what they are going through and offer your support. It is imperative that you are kind and understanding. Also never try to make fun of the situation. Suggest professional help and help them find an outlet. NEVER swear to secrecy and notify a trusted adult.
