B: Call 911 or take your friend to the emergency room.
When someone expresses immediate threats of suicide, it is crucial to take the situation seriously and seek immediate professional help. Calling emergency services (911 in the United States) or taking your friend to the nearest emergency room is the most appropriate course of action. It ensures that trained professionals can assess the situation, provide necessary intervention, and offer the appropriate support and resources. This is a critical step in ensuring the safety and well-being of your friend.
