You wouldn't be putting the thoughts 
into their head, but you would be letting 
them know that somebody cares and wants to give them a chance to talk about their problems.   

   When a person says they want to die or that they want to commit suicide, they are reaching out for attention and love.  They feel lonely and want  someone to show them they are wanted in this world.

  Be warned Though: When a person says they want to die, take it very seriously.  They may not be joking when they talk about death.

   The best way to help a person who is depressed or suicidal is to be there for them whenever they needs you. 

You should confort them make them feel speical.  It will raise their spirits and help them realize that suicide is not the answer to their problems.   Sometimes, simply listening is very helpful.  With support from family and friends and professional treatment, people who are suicidal can find a healthier way to go through life and can make better choices.

  Suicidal thoughts are a cry for help. Get help or help a friend get help, whether it's by calling a hot line, talking to an adult you know, seeking out a school counselor or going to a mental health professional or community mental health center.
