Hello ! TO ALL, :wave:
What would you say to someone who talks of killing themselves ? :nono:
This person is young, very negative, and says he is abused by his parents.
He has threatened to kill them, and his Doctor ! :nono:
ALso, he is doing drugs. :eek:
I don't have a clue ! And, I guess if I am in doubt, I shouldn't even
respond to this guy....., I can assure you I will NOT ! :rolleyes:
What do you guys think ? Please let me know, okay ? :confused:
Take Care, and " Be :cool:
Later....,
GeeGee :yawn:

In his greatest hour of need....you are stating you will not respond to him?! Is this not his cry for help, twisted though it may seem to you? I would suggest he is really hurting inside, and is lashing out at those he blames most (we don't know if they deserve it or not).

Hi Gee Gee
Is there some sort of government body you can go to? I don't know where you are - here in the UK we have Social Services for kids in trouble - is there something like that you can go to? Failing that an ambulance so that he can get some emergency treatment? If he is being abused then he needs help fast - if he's not then he's delusional and he still needs help fast, particularly if he's threatening to kill people. If all else fails then I guess the Police - at least they can get him seen by a doctor and keep him safe if nothing else?

:nono: I agree with what everyone has said thus far. The kid obviously needs help and he/she trusts you which is hard for a teen to do to begin with. If you turn your back on him/her when they are reaching out to you for help then where will they go? Who can they turn too? I am not trying to put it al on you or anything. It's just that he/she obviously doesn't want to hurt anymore or be hurt by the parental units if that is the case. And I am sure that the drugs don't help either. I have heard they can cause paranoia in individuals though I do not know about them enough to say whether it is true or not. Try to help him in whatever way you can. You may be the only lifeline this person has and to yank it away might be the factor that tips them over the edge. Emerald

Hi gee-gee,
Interesting thread.
You're VERY right in what you stated in your introduction.
Basically unless you are 'trained' to deal with this situation, you should hesitate before offering ANY help.
Quite simply you (or anybody) won't know if your doing the right thing (or not).
I support what you said about not getting involved.
If you (or anybody) want to help... USE THE TELEPHONE...CALL A PROFESSIONAL...
NOTE TO ALL: (before the rock throwing starts)
MY professional qualifications include (amongst MANY)
Being a former Fully Qualified Medic. Courtesy of the Armed Forces.
In basic terms, an EXPERT.

Hi ! From Gee Gee...,
THANKS Soooooooo much for your positive reply.
I am so glad that WE both agree. Duuuuuuuuuuuuh..,
You are so RIGHT, I am not trained, and I always hesitate, before I post
ANYTHING !
So, I have never/will not ever offer anyone the type of advice that,
I am not qualified to give !
My Motto : I only speak from my own experiences.
Some folks need to read what the Moterator says about suicide...,
Don't you think ?
Or, folks need help, by reminding some, to USE THE PHONE AND CALL 911 !
My Grandson knows that one...,
I am so glad to hear that I have an EXPERT, to help me out on this !
" THANK Ya, THANK Ya, THANK Ya ! "
I am NOT an expert but...,
My Hubby is a Fireman, and EMT, a First Responder, and has been for over twenty years, !
So, I have learned a lot from him ! And using my common sense, is # 1 !
Does this count, for me ?LOL
Thanks again....., Let me hear from you,
Take Care,
Gee Gee

Hello, my friend ! From Gee Gee,
THANKS AGAIN, my friend ! And, thanks for organizing this for me.
I am not too good at that. And, I guess I was a bit upset TOO !
Maybe it's a woman thing................., Duuuuuuuuuuuh !
I truly do hope these folks are not aggrivated with me. I sent a reply to all
of them, as you probably already know.
Who knows, maybe someone has learned something today ! I DID !
I am headed for the ' Sleep Clinic ', to spend the night !
Oh, of course we will have a nice dinner on the way.
Wish me well, I am a bit nervy about all of this, okay ?
You Take Care, and let me hear from you....,
