How do you cheer up and/or convince a person not to commit suicide?

Convince them that people care about them and remind them that they are loved... Its not always possible, but its a good start.

u feel the same way as me.....

I've felt like that before when something bad happened to me in my past, while I was still attending high school, senior year. Somedays the feeling of just wanting to vanish to not have deal with the bullcrap of everything and the drama of life just hits me full force. I feel like that today. But I stay here big reason for my family back home. I miss them and cant wait to go back to the united states, but I know it wont be all roses either new challenges will come. Thats how life is. theres always going to be some new challenge or obsticale (cant spell sorry) in the way you have to learn to deal with it and be on top of it. You cant let things like the past or even the present get to you, its hard Im having a hard time right now dealing with emotions. Im sorry if I ramble too much I hope this helps a little.

commiting such thing as suicide won't help saving your depression or pain as many people think. Whenever I see someone depressed , I give them extra hard support to Keep the faith no matter what and life will bring you always ups and downs so through time we just gotta face that. and ofcourse I tell them that I love them and support them and many other stuff. Btw , I understand how you feel , I myself have tried to commit suicide too and I went through self harming and there were rare people that supported me , so that's why I try my best to protect others from going through the same things as I did. and you can talk to me if you want :) Hold your head up high and be strong and think about good things and if you feel so bad then also listen to some good cheerful music , it did made me strong.

This will sound mean,but bring them all the supplies they need to commit suicide-they wont have the nerve to.we heard it on a Believe it or Not program Then we tried it on my emo bff and it worked...there is really no reason to want commit suicide,coz u'll die and then what? T he world will go on without you and so will the thing/person that makes you feel that way.

you tell them over and over and over and over again that there are people who care about them and love them and people who would be crushed and suffer from their loss and no matter how bad this person's life is, and no matter how alone or whatever they think they are, there are people who love them and care about them and when they say "no one cares about me, no one loves me, im so alone" that it's complete BULLSHIT.

and i apologize for being harsh, but im so serious. you need to understand that there ARE people who care about you and love you even if in this very moment in time it doesnt feel like it.
