Yep. A cousin of mine just escaped a murder suicide. Her boyfriend turned the gun on himself because of issues he was having with himself and her. We were sad for his family but thrilled that he did not take her with him. Often times someone like this will contemplate pulling a murder suicide. This stuff is real and has no place for anyone, let alone a 16 yr old.

You know, after I wrote this I started feeling really stupid asking complete strangers for help. But you guys REALLY DID HELP.. I guess God is looking out for me more than I'll ever know. Thank you everyone, so much

He needs help that you can't give him. It really is the lowest of the low to place something like suicide on you. You're only 16 and no one regardless of age should ever feel manipulated into staying with someone for fear that person will kill themselves if they don't. And even if he did do that after you break up with him you should know it wouldn't be your fault.

He just needs help.. and you're right. I can't give that to him. Maybe if he gets better we can try again but until then I think we should separate

The changes he needs to make are his choice. If he refuses to change no amount of therapy will help him.

Make it a clean break up, and do not stay in his life until you know he is changing for the better. If it works out, I'd just stay friends with him if that's something you'd be willing to consider.

It is NEVER stupid to ask for help honey - you did a good thing for yourself by questioning the situation you are in

Please be careful. You can care about this guy, but do it as his friend only, not his girlfriend, and from a distance.

It is time for you to move on and time for him to get some professional help.

Understand this - you can't save him.

That's not your job.

Your responsibility is to yourself.

If he wants to commit suicide then let him. He has every right to find peace.

Good grief

Would you try to keep in mind this is a 16 year old we are talking to??

If you have nothing useful to say perhaps there are other threads you can move along to.

What? She is 16? She isn't in the position to help him. That is quite useful. You said she should worry about herself. You pretty much said not to worry about him. Quit diverting attention away from the OP.
