Mountandew21,

Welcome!

Can you talk to your friend about this and let him know you are really concerned?

The best thing you can do right now for your friend, is to be a good friend. Check in on him periodically, and just be there to listen. If he mentions killing himself again, ask him if he has a plan.

If you find out that your friend has a specific plan about how he might harm himself, then talk to the family again. Let them know that he has a specific plan, and that they need to talk to T about it ASAP.

I might also do some reading on suicide warning signs, so that you have good information, and can use that to convince the family.

You shouldn't have to be responsible for taking care of him. Try to convince him to talk to his parents or go to the hospital... but that's all you really can do, besides calling 911 if you think he's in immediate danger of hurting himself.
