Unhappy 11 year old talking about killing herself

my 11 year old daughter told her aunt today that she is going to kill herself so that noone will have to worry about her anymore or get on to her.
I have noticed lately that she has a very short attention span, if you give her two things to do she will do one and forget the other, this is just an example, she stays irritable also and now she has come up with killing herself. What could be the problem here? What can I do? Any help would be appreciated. I didn't know that a child this young would even contemplate something like this.

Hello my children arent at that age to be possibly thinking something like that yet but if you havent gotten her to a sycoligess yet or to someone that can bring up her self esteam i would highly recomend it,maybe go though all her baby photos with her and all the sibling baby photos also and tell her how happy you were when you found out you were carrying her in your tummy and how great it was when she was born how happy you were and how shes gonna have that same feeling when she has kids someday and tell her something like if you do something so terrabel such as that then shell be missing out on all the great things life has to offer such as little miricals like bearing a child and raising a family..like i said i dont have children at that age so i realy dont know and if i affended you in any of this artical im truely sorry i dont mean to by all means..but if you have notice any self asteam problems maybe thats what can be worked on,tell her once in a while that a boy is looking at her and and maybe hed like to be introdesed to her
well i hope all is well for you and your little girl..
sincerly

Re: 11 year old talking about killing herself

It sounds very serious and maybe she needs to see her pediatrician. It could be that her hormones are going crazy but a statement like that needs to be taken seriously. She may need to talk to a counselor. Who knows what she is going through it could be something that may seem trivial to an adult but seems huge to her. If that were my child though, I would definately try talking to her about it but still follow through with seeing a Doctor and take it from there. I hope it all works out okay.
