Sometimes even if you get help and adults intervene, a friend or classmate may attempt or commit suicide. Some teenagers say they feel guilty - especially the ones who felt they could have helped their friend's get threw it. Others say they feel angry with the person who committed or attempted suicide for doing something so selfish.
When someone commits suicide, the people around him/her may become very depressed and even think about suicide themselves. Many schools will address the problem of a student's suicide head-on and call in special counsellors to talk with students and help them deal with their feelings. If you are having difficulty dealing with a friend or classmate's suicide, it's best to make use of these resources or talk to a trusted adult. Feeling grief after a friend commits suicide is normal; it's when it begins to interfere with your everyday life that you may need to speak with someone about your feelings.
