I can't stand my life

[Brian Brand]

Dear Mr. Swag,

My friend of 7 years has been really depressed lately, so the other day she told me that her dad has been getting drunk lately and her mom just died in a car accident. I knew about her mom dying, but not her dad getting drunk. She also told me her dad has been hitting her. She said if she doesn't get out of there she'd kill herself. Please help!

Dear Seeking Superman, 

If I were you I would try to help her in getting help about her thoughts of suicide by just talking to her about it and trying to make her feel better about herself by letting her know that you are there for her and there are other people like her and she's not going through this alone. Also about her dad if she's not comfortable being home with him try and see if she has another place to go like an aunt or uncles place, someone that she can talk to. I hope this helped.

Signed,  

Mr.Swag

If I was in your situation I would try to calm her down and talk her out of suicide by telling her that things can only get better and you can get help and your life can be a happier place. And also by telling her that I'm here to help her and support her through thick and thin. I would also tell her to try and approach her dad calmly and ask to talk about things, like him getting drunk and him abusing her, and what is going through her mind. If that doesn't help her then I would can call Kids Help Phone or any other network based around that. And hopefully she will change her mind and focus on other things like school and social skills.

Dear Seeking superman.

Get out of there. get help from the police. They might be able to give you a safe environment to live in. Also they might be able to put your father into an institution where he could get help for his drinking problem.

dear seeking superman what i think you should do is talk to her out of suicide and let her sleepover at your house more also you can tell her theres help try your best to keep her busy.

dear seeking superman, 

you should ask her if her dad can try to go to one of those "AA" programs. Also, if her dad hits her, she can just call the police to put him in a place where he can learn to calm down his drinking or if that doesn't work she could be put into a foster home, that way she'll be able to see her dad every like maybe 2 weeks and as she's away he'll realize his drinking and he'll get himself some help.

Dear Seeking Superman,

I think that you should help her talk to someone about her issue with her dad at home. If she tells an adult about her dad hitting her they can do something to stop it from occurring. As for her being depressed about her mom's death, I think that you should try to cheer her up as best as you can and maybe suggest counselling so she has a professional to talk to about her problems. You should try talking her out of suicide and don't let her mind wander there. Help her focus on something other than her problems, like school, the social world. Spend time with her.

Dear, Seeking Superman

 

I would try to talk to your friend in private and talk her out of suicide and try to get her in a safer place. And you should also call the police about her dad hitting her, and possibly get her dad is some institution and possibly which will calm him down from his drinking problem and stop hitting your friend!

Dear Seeking Superman,

Something like this is serious, and to help her you need to find someone who's trained for situations like this. When someone speaks of abusive parents, you yourself can't do much to help. Instead contact someone who can, Children's Aid, the Police, Kids Help Phone, or even your parents. You need to get her away from that household as fast as you can. Being abusive is not the only issue Alcoholics have. When constantly intoxicated a parent won't be able to properly care for their child, which puts a child's health and safety at risk. As far as her mother dying, try to support her as much as you can. Keep her mind active, because when bored, or alone, you think about problems more then when your with friends and having fun. In situations like this, I'm sure all she needs is someone beside her, who cares. So be that person, bring her the happiness she needs.

Sincerely, Mr. Swag.

Dear Seeeking Superman,

You need to get your friends somewhere safe like to her granparents, and help her dad sober up or at least not get drunk all the time. If she does not want to leave help by giving her advice on how to handle these things but if you don't think you can help have her call a help line like kids help phone (1-800-668-6868) and if she does not listen to you then she does not really want help.
