my friend just told me that his mom is threatening to send him to live with his aunt across the country if he doesn't get his grades up, and if that happens he would kill himself.
i know he has depression and had suicidal tendencies in the past but i never thought he would try it again- what do i do? he's coming over to visit on saturday [he moved away from my town two years ago. he used to move around a lot] and all the sites are saying to tell an adult but i want him to trust me... i've never dealt with something like this before.

I agree, you should confide in an adult and see if perhaps they could call his mother and relay your concerns, better to offend him than to not do something for him and regret it later. Hugs!

I agree with karma, you should tell someone. Better your friend be alive and pissed at you than dead and not.
