It is natural for your friend to feel down sometimes, and suicide is not the answer. I would talk to your friend about reaching out for help and letting them know that they are valued no matter what, so that they have support to get through these difficult times. We can never give up on helping someone reach their full potential and there are people who love and care for them who will always be there through anything.

You should tell your friend that life can get better, but it might be difficult or impossible for them to see that now. Remind them of the things they value and enjoy, like spending time with family or engaging in a hobby. Offer to help them seek out professionals who can assist with mental health concerns, such as a therapist. Finally, remind your friend that suicide is not the solution and that it is okay to feel sad or tired; life gets better eventually. If possible, come up with an actionable plan together — this could include finding qualified professionals to talk things through or exploring natural alternatives such as mindfulness exercises and relaxation techniques like deep breathing. You want your friend to feel listened to and empowered when deciding what choices work best for them going forward. Ultimately you want your friend to know that you care deeply for their wellbeing above all else – whether it be physically taking steps towards their own suicide prevention 
or listening in the event of feeling ambivalent – provide constant support throughout however bad or intense they are feeling so long as it’s safe so do so.
