My "friend" - I say that in quotations because he doesn't talk to me that much but we are still on good terms - recently texted to me that he wanted to end it. At first I was confused but then I realized that he meant he wanted to kill himself. But he seemed so happy at school. People often use the terms "I wanna kill myself" and "That's so depressing" so naturally now. So when I hear someone say it, I don't ever take it seriously anymore. But it didn't seem like he was joking.
Another problem I have is when people deny that they're feeling down. Keeping it to yourself just makes you feel worse. Like my friend started changing the subject when it started getting serious. To be honest, I just wish he would tell me what was going on.
Then he started saying that he was just "in a mood" or "people don't care". I tried explaining to him that I cared and I really wished he would just talk to me, but he would just start saying he was fine. I feel like I'm being too pushy, but I just don't know how else to get him to talk to me.
This is also not the first time he's talked about killing himself either. But this is the first time I've actually confronted him about it. I just hope that he's not joking or making the situation seem worse than it actually is.
