“You shouldn’t think like that.”

Rule #1 Of suicide prevention: don’t make it seem like the fault is on the depressed person. Even if you didn’t intend it, that’s the kind of tone that sentence has.

I think it’s better to say something like “Have you considered going to a therapist?” Or “I’m worried about you. Have you told any trusted adults? Is there anything I can do to help?”
