Boyfriend Wants to Committ Suicide…?

Question by hopelessly_smiles: Boyfriend wants to committ suicide…?
Guys, I really just don’t know what to do anymore. My boyfriend is having a very difficult time…close to foreclosure and bankruptcy, he is struggling in school so his father beats him, family has an addiction to drugs, dad is in the hospital frequently, and my boyfriend is starting to drink, do drugs, hurt himself, and even tried committing suicide due to depression. If he gets and C’s, he will be deported back to the Philippines, and his father is serious. He says the only thing that keeps him from doing it is me, that he wants to live for me. He hates to see me cry, it tears him apart. He told me today, after we received our grades, “I’m so sorry that you’re dating an idiot like me. You’re smart and beautiful, one of the top in the school. You don’t deserve me. I don’t know why you’re with me, honestly, but I do love you. But aside from you, I don’t really kno why else im living.” It really hurts me inside, because I try to help him out to my fullest extent, with school by tutoring, with his everyday problems just by being there to comfort him, and raising money on my own time to aid with his financial issues. He always tells me that he wants to be a dentist, that he wants to make people smile and be happy. I can imagine him reaching those goals already, I know he has the potential.

How do I convince him to hold on?

*Note: Please don’t tell me we’re crazy or anything, but we’re both only 16. My parents don’t want me dating, and as guilty as I feel about going against their wishes and dating him, I know my bf needs my support. Plus, he hasn’t given up on me, why should I on him? My parents give me 0 trust, so i can’t go out with him. We’ve lasted 11 months so far though, and its still going strong. Yup, we lasted the whole summer without seeing each other once. I know we’re young, but I’m not doing this to be a rebel or anything, I’m doing it because I care, and I know he needs me.

Thanks.
I told him that he should report his father’s behavior, but he says that it will only make family matter worse at home.
I also told him drugs won’t help. He’s seen me cry when he talks about drinking and suicide and drugs. That’s the reason he’s trying to stop, just for my sake.

You start by getting professional help for him. Start with your school counselor. Have an adult call CPS and report the abuse at home. You can also call 1-800-4ACHILD. There are agencies that can help him.

The best thing to do is to be there for him.I would keep lettiing him know how you feel about him. I would try to get him to move out and away from his father. Sounds like he is in a dangerous environment living with an abusive father. Its only going to bring him down more. Hope I helped some.
