In today's Dear Annie column, a concerned mom reaches out looking for resources to help her daughter with a troubled friend.
By Annie Lane | creators.comWhen she was in high school, she knew at least four people who committed suicide. She, of course, doesn’t want it to happen again. She has a current friend who threatens it now often, maybe even nightly. The friend was recently committed to a facility to help her, and she was released after treatment, but from my point of view, the hospital stay did not work.
My daughter needs to work on her school or get more sleep or eat a full dinner. I want my daughter to be sweet, of course, and loving, but she needs to take care of herself, too. Your daughter should speak with a professional immediately to seek advice for her friend. She could also call the girl’s parents and let them know what is going on. I cannot emphasize enough that threatening suicide is extremely serious and should never be taken lightly. You can also direct her to this website and phone number:This is in response to “Feeling Powerless.” Coping with life involves taking care of ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually.
