okay, this afternoon i got a call from a friend of mine and it turns out chad, my best friend these last ten years, has made his third suicide attempt in the time i have known him.

they are definately just please for attention, as the first time he took about 60 Alieves (or however that over the counter aspirin type medication is spelled), and the last two times he has taken alot of sleeping pills and then called someone or driven himself to someone's house.

he had just promised me days before that he wouldn't try to commit suicide, he made a sacred promise, and here we are again.

how do you tell someone that is only doing it for the attention to stop without making the situation worse?
