idk if this is the right place to post this. but here we go. my friend lives somewhere in Norway and i just started talking to him a few days ago. he recently lost two of his best friends to suicide and got kicked out from his home by his family for coming out as gay. i am trying to convince him not to kill himself too, but apparently therapy costs thousands over there as it is not covered under healthcare. i really want to help him but i literally have no idea what to say to help him. please /adv/, i don't want him to end his own life. pic not related

Why would you care or get attached to someone you met days ago? Just tell him that killing himself would just give his family what they want and if he wants to be their bitch, or something less harsh but along those lines. Also tell him to call the authorities, I'm not sure about Norway but in my country it's illegal to just kick a kid out of your house until they are 18. Keep talking to him if you rely dont want him to kick the bucket, let him talk and vent. Call him if need be, an actual voice is a lot more comforting than text on a screen.

For some reason I doubt they don't treat mental illness there.

>apparently therapy costs thousands over there as it is not covered under healthcare.
well that's just not true. especially for the suicidal

thanks for the advice. i forgot to mention that he is 18 so it is legal and he is currently living in an apartment for school i guess. and as for that first question, i am like that. i get attached to strangers and i would feel guilty if i just let him die

i guess he just doesn't know much about the healthcare system over there. i feel bad but he told me that healthcare does pay for 20% of therapy sessions and he is gonna save up for the rest
