    Find a suicide crisis counselling line and ask them for advice on how best to handle this, also try and get him to call separately for himself.

    Try and convince him how much you'd care if he disappeared also other people who care about him. Sometimes all it takes is to get him to agree not to do it for a certain length of time, on the basis that once it's done it's all over but if he puts it off his life may improve and you will try and find help for him in the meantime. I got someone to not suicide with that method, but nothing's foolproof.

    Another thing which might help is to plan something he enjoys for the near future: sometimes something to look forward to will change attitude. Also, try and get other people he cares about and who care about him to be involved: it's very hard for one person to handle this on their own and you sound quite young.

    Don't beat yourself up if he still goes ahead, sometimes it's impossible to talk people out of suicide, it's his choice in the end, but it is worth a try.

    I would try to get him to professional councilling but if he won't go theres nothing you can really do about it.

      A sloppy wet blowjob could be just the ticket to make those dark clouds just go away.

    hey you gotta decide how serious it is. Alot of this stuff is just feel sorry for myself bullshit to get others to feel sorry for me. If that's the case tell him to snap out of it quicksmart and stop acting like a princess. No more blowjobs until then.
    If you decide that he is actually a suicide risk (not likely if he hasn't regularly displayed bouts of extreme depressed behaviour over a substantial period of time), then consult someone else who may have some sway with him, perhaps a family member of his, or a family friend, in an attempt to get him to get the counselling he may need, or at least to get an experts opinion on his current state.
    Hope it works out
