today at school a girl i know confided in me with a very large secret. she has had problems in the past and has attempted suicide twice. she is having problems with her fiance-unfaithful to her. she told me she has waited to kill her self all weekend. i went to the guidance counselor shortly after and told her. the C called her mom and told her. Kelly is so PISSED at me!!! she is going to hate me for a while but in the long run it will all be ok. she still needs to be in therapy and i think she realizes that now. there was no way i could keep quiet and allow her to try again. if she killed herself i could not live with that.

You did a very brave thing... and it was the right thing. I'm sorry that you were put in this position but your friend was crying out for help and she's going to get that help. Now you're probably right. I'm sure whe will be upset with you for a while because you're an easy outlet now for her hurt. But she will come around and realize, if she doesn't already, what a good friend you are to her. Good job sweetie.

((((Hallie)))) What a hard decision to make. It took a lot of courage. I know in the long run she will thank-you. Way to go!

I think you did the right thing Hallie. Well done. She may be pissed at you but there is less chance of her doing anything bad to herself as i'm sure her parents will be keeping a close eye on her.

I think it's great that you did that for her, Hallie. I'm glad that she's still talking with you too.

You did the right thing, Halliebeth. That must have been incredibly hard to do.

Yeah, that happens, but in the end they end up thanking you, most times. I've had to do this several times with various friends. I'd rather lose a friend from them hating you than for them to go away forever.

If she told you about it, she knew she needed help. Sometimes it's really hard to ask for help. You did the right thing.
