I think kids especially, are more sensitive to life events than most adults are. Meaning they may feel more hopeless and not know of another way to solve their problem(s).. So many of the kids here on CC are either suicidal, have thought about it, or attempted it, and a good deal even self-harm. Kids may not be equipped with the knowlege that suicide isn't the solution, or the ONLY solution. All they know is they want the pain and trauma to stop, by any means possible. Whether it's suicide, alcohol, drugs, etc..
