Twenty-twenty hindsight is of no benefit here. Nonetheless, suicide attempts must be taken seriously.

My condolences to the family.

People oftentimes try to hide how bad they feel inside because they feel like they cannot talk about it with others. That others wouldn't understand how they feel inside. To talk of suicide in our culture is sort of taboo and people look upon you as though you were crazy if you say anything. Or, they freak out when a person mentions they have suicidal feelings.

I'm sorry for your friend's loss though.

I'm very sorry for the death of your BF's son. This is going to be a very difficult time for her. I lost my brother 2 yrs ago to suicide also. I agree with SophiaG - I think parents/schools should speak about it openly because most people are ashamed to admit these feelings. Men are also more secretive regarding suicide.

I want to add my condolences also. Suicide is a very serious thing and should never be taken for granted.
