Suicidal person(help)

Let's say my friend is suicidal.

His father died in the military and he lives with his mom. His grandparents and his mom split ways and no longer contact each other. His mom is toxic af and a slut, she started getting fucked right after her husband left the military. He gets beaten up by his mom and also emotional abuse like "you are not worth living" "you are trash" etc. He sometimes gets beaten by his moms temporary bf. Just listening to it pained my heart.I couldn't find a way to convince him to stop crying. Its just so painful to just hear it.

What would you guys say to stop him from crying and being suicidal? Please need some comforting comments.

Idk much about it but he can always try contacting child protection services, he seems to live in a toxic household so they will definitely intervene and help him, its gonna be a difficult step but it will be the step in the right direction.

Cps is the worst organization on the face of the earth all they do is make any situation they intervene in 10x worse than it needs to be. Idk how they’re incapable of doing their only job but they’re the original paycheck stealers only they steal from govt funds

If he's a minor, there's authorities for that. If he's an adult, he can leave. Life is too short to stay with people who impedes your happines, health, and well-being.

if he cant afford therapy then just try to make his day better whenever you spend time with him
also if you are gonna ask the internet for advice i'd not ask vlr maybe go to a subreddit regarding that topic there are many ppl there that have gone through the same

that really depends on his situation but the most important thing is to don't leave him alone, he needs something useful to his mental health and body maybe hit the gym just to fill his time and get distracted from the negative thoughts
