Well normally I don't ask for help... But, I have a brother (he just turned 15 yesterday) and for several times; he tried to commit suicide. He said he's life sucks for like several reasons. He claims he can't do anything, like sports or play any instruments. He said he didn't have a girlfriend yet and he thinks he's ugly and a loser because of that. He also said he screwed up his grades several times in school. So one day, my dad told me to let my brother stay at my house for a little bit and talk to him about this suicide stuff. I tried talking him out of his suicidal thoughts, but it just doesn't work. There has to be another alternative. Any suggestions?

Make his life better. Give him things you know he'd love or take him to places he likes. I hope your parents aren't the type that give their children crap for everything they do wrong.

Instead of trying to talk to him about it, why don't you leave him alone with that, and bring him out. Invite him over with a couple friends. Have a good time with him. Bring places. As a brother, you can make him happier and see the good in life.

spend as much time with him. get him involved in different things. helping the poor, visit cancer patients, kids who had to undergo chemo therapy, etc, go let him read to the elders, let him see how his life is blessed.

i agree with all those, but i still don't think it should be completely all in your hands. i suggest you take him to a counseler/therapist as well.
