I have a friend who is suicidal, whom I care for very much. However I have made a very poor decision, I recognized that he needs professional help, but I decided to postpone forcing it upon him. I did this because he's going to visit his sister for spring break, and I feared that if I went to my school counselor and alerted him to the situation, Matt wouldn't be able to go, due to his parents being informed and finding him an outlet for counseling. I thought this disappointment might be triggering, so I decided I'd do it first day back from spring break. The crisis enters here, some little *expletive* decided to pose as his friend on facebook, and presumably found out about some of his sexual preference confusion. Now little *expletive* is threatening to blackmail him, and he feels his only solution is to kill himself after returning from visiting his sister. I feel like an absolute failure for putting this off, as in all honesty I did so partially for my own comfort. Now I don't know what my best course of action is, I don't know if I wait until he isn't home and go speak to his parents directly, or what... What would you suggest as a crisis aversion method in this situation? (P.S. He leaves for L.A. in 6 days.)
