Step 3
Many people could have saved their friends life if they just hung around and not left them alone. Many people also believe their friend is joking when they mention they want to kill themselves. Dont take any mention of a suicide attempt as a joke. Many people will act normal right before a suicide attempt becuase they have made up their mind and made peace within themselves becuase of the attempt. If your friend opens up listen to their plans the more detailed their plans the more serious they are about suicide. If they have a weapon such as a gun you should take it away from them immediately.
