most people say things like this but never actually do it, i think you should sit down and on a one to one level have a talk with him. maybe see what is going on with him. see if you can get him to admit that he has issues that he cannot deal with on his own..also remind him of people that are important that he will leave behind
He is a very stubborn kind of guy. He is in his 30s never been married had a real bad relationship with this girl he met on the net,she totaly led him on telling him how much she loved him " I saw the letter's" He then took her to Mexico and shortly after that she just had nothing to do with him. That was about a year ago and he has been going downhill ever since. I really think the dude is serious about this decission,and i do think he will follow through with it.

you have to talk to him. i had the same situation with a guy in the navy that got busted down in rank. he said he couldnt handle the embarresment. but i talked to him for a few hours that day and he decided to go and get prfessional help. it worked cause now he is still alive and moving on with his life. but you have to talk to him. dont tlak him out of it like raina said, it doesnt work. instead jsut talk to him about whats wrong. some people in that situation just need a good friend to sit and listen.
and you also need to change your view on suicide. Killing yourself is not a cowards way of doing things.....would you have the guts to put a 12 gauge shotgun to your head and pull the trigger? I sure wouldnt. Any sane person wouldnt.kills said:
They are mentally unstable when they commit suicide and at that point and time, they dont see any other way out.
If your friend talked to you about it then he more than likely isnt going to do it but you can never be sure. Talk to him but like they said, dont give him symathy...he could be just looking for attention from anyone that will listen...and then thats what you do, listen to him.
tell him to start living his life the way he wants and fear nothing. go do shit he wouldnt normally do, say things he wouldnt normally say, live free and on the whim (provided he doesnt hurt others).kills said:
just live for fun, for 2 weeks, see how he feels at the end of those 2 weeks....if he still wants to go someplace tropical and kill himself then let him

By "this website" do you mean elite? If that's the case you have to ask yourself would it be beneficial to him if he found a thread that had people talking about his fate?

Hope all goes well. There's simply too much to live for. It is odd though that he would be getting depressed about this girl for a year, then want to go back to someplace tropical (like Mexico maybe) and "pull the pin." It sounds like this has been premeditated for a while. Odds are he's just severly depressed and trying to rationalize what's been happening. Only he knows for sure though.

if he actually thinks there are places in life that you would want to go on vacation to he will know that there are happy moments in life and probably not want to kill himself. on the otherhand there are some dumb people out there..... send him to psu! u have to have fun here!
