I'm putting this out there for everyone, BUT, especially the younger people out there. My daughter is 12yrs of. I got a call from her principals office today about a suicide note. It was my daughters note but it was her best friend's. After my daughter came home from school i did not mention the call, waiting to see if she would bring it up. She did and i did confirm i got the call and asked her what wad going on. She ( hesitantly) told me her friend was "going through some stuff". I told her she did not have to betray her friend's confidence BUT if the was something really going and she was worried she needed to tell somebody. I told her with best friends like her, her friend should be ok.. the principal had the nerve to say " I just thought you should know who your daughter is hanging out with" What the help is that? Like I'm gonna tell my daughter because her friend is having issues and needs to express herself my daughter can no longer be her friend? ..... Anyway, was my advice good enough? .... I don't know.

    Principals a judgemental asshole. Holy crap. I think the girl just needs a friend. If she has people around who arent judgy and are supportive that can only help.

    That's what i thought also. I mean if this girl only can talk to her friends about thing.... why the HELL would we take that away from her?

    Its really nice to have someone to talk to when your in the dark. it may be little but its comfort knowing that even one person listens to you.
    there was a time i was stuck under the clouds and my friend suddenly told me she was really glad to be my friend and that i mattered to her. she doesn't know but she was the reason why I didn't jump off a roof.
    so yes having a friend that cares well im alive because she cared enough to stay.

    I think it's good advice, your daughter is already friends with her best friend, I think if she didn't stick to her friends side then maybe that best friend will comit suicide much quicker with the result that your daughter will feel guilty about it. There's one advice I would give though, if your daughter becomes the one listening to the troubles, your daughter will need someone who supports her.

    i'll just copy+paste this here then.
    i think i'd probably do the same? if it's me it's how i raise up my daughter with a strong heart and morals to be able to help others. i would feel sympathy for that girl who wrote the suicide note. IMO, i would love my daughter to be able to influence other in a good way, be that someone beloved and confident that she won't hesitate to give love to others. - See more at: http://www.mangago.me/#sthash.0ZMDWltZ.dpuf

    I know that too. And I've always told my kids they can talk to me about anything ( and i know all parents say that) so that's why a phrased my wording the way I did. "Tell somebody" whether its about a friend or about themselves. That message wasn't just about her friend.

    That's wonderful. Everybody needs someone like that. Sometimes friends are even closer to you than your own family. In glad you had someone there for you.

    actually I have same big problem like that in my family.
    I don't know they way some-adult think, when I saw my mother and father make scene because my younger sister crying get hit by her friend. They talk like, "Don't play again with her. just go play with someone else, you know that she is naughty girl and why did you play with her?? Just you see, once again I see you play with her, next time I'll hit you instead."

    what a adult-talk.
    hear that make my heart hurt. I mean, look here, look at me, I don't have friends because I didn't play with whoever out there, because they strange, naughty, noisy, yadda yadda.

    beside, poor her (the friend), maybe she didn't mean to hit or maybe she had her reason to hit like my younger sister bad mouthing her. or maybe she didn't know that hit someone is no the right things to do among friends.

    True. Parents can and can not say who SHOULD be your friend, but YOU are the only one who WILL decide your friends. And true friends don't cut and run at the first sign of trouble.

    that's what I mean, it's imposible to have friend but wanting to having no problem.
    life is nothing but trouble and problem, isn't ? what's wrong with having problem, doing mistake and getting an accident, it's not like we can live on perfect-life.

    being an incredible person as friend is imposible for me, hahaha.
    sometimes I don't know if what I said is right or wrong, I'm not sure about my act either, is that was good enough or not.
