Abuse is making my friend suicidal

[Guest]

I don’t know what to do or where to post this, but I just need some insight or advice or any tips that’ll help.
my friend (13 trans male) is going through abuse and has been for almost his whole life.
His parents are overly religious and don’t accept him. He’s attempted suicide twice because he says “The only way to get away from this is either to run away and live on the streets and most likely die doing that, or kill myself”

Again, I have no idea what to do. I’ve been wanting to tell my parents about this but I don’t know if they’ll be able to help. Even if they could I have no idea what would happen, or if it’d be too late.
