My friend on here is talking about writing a note to kill herself I don't know what to do!

Just keep on giving her advice, and make sure she KNOWS you care about her, okay?

Let her know that you are there to help, this is something that you will need a trusted third party's help with. ( a good counsellor or a friend)

I'm afraid if they are that far gone I doubt there's much that can be done to help them but themselves. Anything else is just banging on a window they won't hear.

This is probably a horrible cliche, but there is a fairly big gap between saying you are thinking about suicide than doing it. Talking about it is mostly a call for help and in my opinion people should get that help (maybe except for bps). The best you can do for your friend is show her that there is more to life than this. Don't be only oooh and aaah and you are so poor, but challenge the thoughts.
I have been witness to several suicide attempts (unfortunately) and even when people did stupid things the idea was hardly even to really die. I am not saying they all turned into happy people without cares, but all of them got better. There is always hope.

Ofcourse you can't do this on your own, she needs real help!

Just give her words of encouragement, but if she won't listen, than she should be left, do do whatever she wishes.

She obviously wants compassion if she told you that. Listen to her and as CR said give her words of encouragement.

Take it seriously

A friend once asked me, if I was going to "do it"..
how would I "do it"? My response was a method that
I considered quick and painless but I didnt really believe
this person was capable. Two days later thats exactly
how it happened. I should have taken it seriously.

If it's someone that's dead set on doing it (and I don't mean someone that just "wants to die") I can't see how furnishing them with good information would be a bad thing. Better that than for them to cock it up and suffer the consequences of not using an efficient method.
