Talking to him is a good start...

I would suggest just sitting down and listening to him and trying to smooth over the rough edges of his life.



Always try and find out "why"... and don't be afraid to keep asking that question

How close of a friend are you to him? Go visit him even if you aren't that close because you obviously are affected by what happened to him. People in that situation usually appreciate it, and most people try to commit suicide because they feel so disconnected from everyone around them if they are not doing it for a specific reason.

I'm sure his parents will find out about it one way or another, but the best thing for him is to just have someone to talk to if you feel comfortable doing that. Maybe bring him something he might enjoy doing while he is in the hospital like a book or even bring a video game system up there and play with him (doesn't always hook up to the TV, but a noble gesture nonetheless, bring an RF adapter if you have it).



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
