My son keeps talking about suicide. He is 11. What can I do?

I'm so sorry to hear that you must be so worried! I would suggest having an open discussion with him if he's willing to talk to you more; why is he talking about it? Is he talking about suicide as a theme out of curiosity or is he feeling suicidal? Is he having a hard time at home or in school? This article has a good list of warning signs to look out for: http://www.tnp.sg/news/singapore-news/distress-signal Bring him to a counsellor (several listed in the link) for a peace of mind as well. above all, constantly remind your son that his parents and family are there for him through action (hugs, pat, more touch, spending more time together) and speech. hope things work out with him. hugs!

U just let him know tht it’s who’s not brave always think abt it.. n also better to talk to him, why he is talking might b his frnds discussing abt it, don’t ignore what ever he talks , if we ignore they don’t tell us anything, we r the parents listen n say good way , if we scold or say against they stop telling .. as my cousin had the same issue n she had suicide now n she only 13yrs.. so better talk with him or take some specialist advice .. pls take care

This is a serious issue but on the positive side, he did open up to u. Use this opportunity to find out more. Make him understand that this worries you.Talk to other family in the same house. Talk to his teachers in school and alert them of his thoughts. Maybe they can shed some light. Main thing is communicate and communicate. If u still feel lost, ask proffessesional help. Find out helpline numbers and talk to them. Please do something and dont brush it off.

I’m sorry to hear this. Try and spend more time with your son and simply be there for him. But don’t fuss over him all of a sudden, it might put on extra pressure. Slowly find out why by trying to understand him. And if it gets worse, try and get professional help, but don’t force him if he isn’t ready. Wishing things will turn around soon for the both of you

Please call either SOS and get referral from them. I strongly suggested calling IMH clinic B and request for assistance. They are amazing, totally no judgement. It is not a phase and definitely not too small a matter to think it will pass. It belies a bigger issue inside of your child.

This is serious. You need to tell your son that you love him so much, unconditionally and nothing can be that terrible to make him want to take his life. Pls send him to seek professional help. This is not something to sit around and wait for it to pass. Pls act immediately

Hey.. please do seek professional help. Do be supportive of him and talk to him, listen to his concern why is he feeling suicidal. It's sad kids at this young age is already thinking of suicide.

Omg pls take him to a counsellor soon and please try to spend more time with him. Does he have a lot of friends? Involve him in more sports and activities perhaps ?

He is only 11, does he really understand what that is... Is he under influence of TV or Internet or some people? Please get immediate help.
