My friends is having some sort of Depression...what should I do?

Question

I just talked to him over MSN and he told me he thinks there's no point of living. He lives in Canada and I live in the US so I can't talk to him face to face. He ask for my advice on what should I do. He said he's start having these feelings for a few days. I visited him 2 weeks ago and he was fine. I thought he's only 14, how can he have these feelings? What should I tell him?

Answer 1

anybody at any age can get depression. i first had it at 13.

ask him what makes him feel this way, and what makes him think there's no point in living. there's always something that triggers those bad feelings.

tell him that your always there for him and he can trust you with anything he says.

depression is very hard to understand for someone who has never experienced it, but it can be understood with time and patience.

Answer 2

visit him again and pimp slap him for being so stupid
