I am so sorry Sandy. Kids are impulsive by nature and really don't get the whole death is a permanent solution thing. My son was also suicidal and I had him hospitalized. He was okay with it. You may tell him that he has to make a no suicide contract with you and agree to counseling or you will have to save his life and have him admitted. Don't do it as a threat but as I am so worried and I love you and would be devastated if anything happened to you and as your mom I have to keep you safe and these are your choices. I only later learned that my son is bi-polar and at that time was horribly bullied at school. Please help him to be safe.
