He sent me a message yesterday
that he only has two days left...
and he is planning to kill himself
that is the day he is getting kicked
out of his house he is living in now
he has no place to go., I really
feel awful for him... I told him to
ask family to take a bus here and
I would be more then happy to
take him in...even though we don't
know each other.. if that is what it
takes to keep him from doing some
thing to himself

He and my son are the same
age and my son would be
more then happy to take him
around with him and help him
find a job of his liking...

Poor Foolish, he dont want to help
himself get better though...part of
him does but part of him truly
does wants the change

((((((((((((((((((((((Foolish)))))))))))))))))))))))

What a generous offer you made ((((Somebody)))) = Foolish definately has friends here and I think he knows that. He does have parents that would probably help him out, but he is reluctant to ask them which I can understand, but it would be better than killing himself. Keeping Foolish in my prayers.

I always think and worry about Foolish too. He is a bright kid and has alot in him but he doesn't want to use it and doesn't want to find guidance. It would be such a waste to lose him in this world.
He does have options. He has us and he has people around him that I am sure would help but he needs to accept the help and do that with a good attiude.

It was very generous of you to offer him a place to stay and
some help. I think alot of people who want help tell about the suicide ahead of time and he has done that numerous times so I know he wants to get better and have a life he just isn't sure how.
Send him my best and tell him I believe in him and know that if he accepts help and finds someone to talk to for guidance in life he will be OK and his life will be worth something.

Sending hugs for you and Foolish,
Heidu

I always worry about him too. Foolish, are you reading? How about posting to let us know what's going on?

He's got to start wanting to get better though. Forcing him just wouldn't work. He is a good kid at heart, and he has so much potential if he could just see what he has and make the most of it.
