Okay someone help please now. it's serious!?

Every city & state has a suicide 1-800 or local hotline #. You could call it and get their advice of how to handle your friend - they are trained for this. The power of prayer is miraculous - call your church or a local church and ask to put your friend (1st name) on the prayer chain immediately. Or just take your friend to a local church during week day business hours and ask to speak to the pastor, explaining the cirstances; more times than not they will councel with him right then (if it is a Christian church). If he has a good relationship with his parents it is very important that they are made aware of this situation. You should rally together all his closets friends and keep a "suicide watch" as often as possible. At some point he needs to start therapy. In todays time most EVERYONE who can afford it or who has insurance that covers mental health sees a therapists; it's very normal ------everyone has issues - some are just more overwhelming. Advice is cheap, especially when it is not asked for so meanwhile BE THERE & BE SUPPORTIVE.
