I am very sorry you are going through this. I would talk to someone, it is not safe for him to be doing these things to himself, someone should know so that he can be taken care of.

The same thing happend to my sister. This guy, Tyson liked my sister, and my sister liked him for a while, but she knew there was something weird about him. We all figured out that Tyson had been going through a lot of depression, and the school and his teachers know, so that he can be monitored closely. He has had treatments and stuff, but he hasn't gotten much better. When my sister told him that she didn't want to go out with him or anything more than friends, he cried and threatend to kill himself and stuff. This upsetted her, so a lot of people got involved. He's done this to 2 of my other friends also, making them feel guilty. He needs a lot of help, but hopefully he can get through it.

I really hope your friend can get through this. He needs help though. It is not your fault at all, he has obviously been struggeling with this for a while. {{HUGS}}
