Yeah, the it’ll probably be a good idea
But tone down the problem a bit or they might try to pressure you into telling them who, thinking there helping her get help
~VERY IMPORTANT~ I need help. NOW. Like, we're talking a life and friendship is on the line. (My best friend is suicidal, HELP!)
Then it should be fine
Make it sound like a fictional scenario if necessary
Yeah, the it’ll probably be a good idea
But tone down the problem a bit or they might try to pressure you into telling them who, thinking there helping her get help
How might I tone it down?
What are some good alternative things to say/ ways to address it?
These are all very good ideas…
Yep, they are :)
But I'm looking for specific things to say :)
(im being super picky, sorry :)

Like, instead of outright saying ‘suicidal’ say that she’s depressed and you’re worried she’ll start getting harmful ideas
What are some good alternative things to say/ ways to address it?
Make it sound like it's for a book or something
Or say you heard about it online and is curious what these people would do in that situation
okay
thank you, all!
(don't leave, I'll probably come up with 700000000 more questions to ask :)
OK I won't
No problem, I gotta go in around fifteen minutes though because the class I have doesn’t allow phones
So, I have a bunch of questions to ask her (who have you told, have you self-harmed, is there a reason, etc), but I don’t wanna pry.

Then tell her that… If you don't wanna pry, say…
"I don't mean to pry, and you don't have to tell me anything, but…"

One way is to discuss these things first, but in circumstances completely unrelated to her then try to subtly link it to her situation
okay
thank y'all!
No problem :)
oh boy, more questions :)
She told me that she doesn't want to talk about it, but I do. How do I discuss it with her if she doesn't want to? She will talk to me, but maybe not about…suicide.
How do I discuss it with her if she doesn't want to?
okay
thank y'all!
Anytime!
How do I discuss it with her if she doesn't want to?
If she doesn’t want to you can’t push her
It’s not the desired answer, I know , but
How do I discuss it with her if she doesn't want to?
Um…wait?
Yeah, I suppose you're right…
but I'm seriously worried about her
How do I discuss it with her if she doesn't want to?
Um…wait?

As in wait till she's ready to talk
Yeah… You can't push her into this, just offer to her…
