i have a friend back home (in two different states for school) and has been struggling with mental problems. today she tells me she found out the source of her problems. she wants to act on her homicidal thoughts and it is her dream to act them out.

she then tells me that she plans on being dead in 2 years. so she can avoid jail and the fact she hates living.

what should i do

If you think she's serious, the best thing that you can do is to tell someone who can help her. Call her parents, and explain what's going on her head. You do have a duty to your friend to keep her secrets, but at the same time, you cannot allow her that privacy at the expense of another life.

Please tell them.

Hey, it sounds as though your friend is going through a rough time and her homicidal thoughts can be linked to mental health issues. I'd advise you to keep close contact with her and inform a trusted adult. She needs some serious help.
However, homicidal thoughts are quite common, in teenagers, but that doesn't mean to say you should just leave her.

You said that she hates living and plans to be dead in two years or so, this may be due to depression, in which case, ask her to see a counsellor, or tell a trusted adult to refer her.

Go to this website for more understand and information.
You may also like to check out this link, and pass on some of the information to her.
This thread has loads of advice on what she can do, in the mean time.

Good luck.

Hey,  

I want to reinforce what Blank black and Decadence have said.

It sounds like your friend is going through a really rough time. If you genuinely believe she is serious, you have an obligation to tell someone. people who are near her need to know what is going on so they can try to help her. You need to contact her parents or another adult in the area you trust about what is going on, so they can do something about it.
