Is everyone just secretly a sadist? I don't understand how making it harder for people in that much pain to be freed from their suffering is moral or just.

  Many of the dominant religions in our world sees suicide as a sin, some going so far as to claim that the victim will be punished for it in the afterlife. This morality defines much of our lives, even if you don’t belong to a religion. Point in case: suicide is illegal in many states in the US.

  There's a lot happening in the body and brain of a teenager. There can be a lot of anxiety and to some that can feel overwhelming. There's also a lot of peer pressure among teens. For most teenagers all that will pass even though it may not feel that way at the time. I refer this quote from the tweet: "Even more heartbreaking, we got several cases where the children had consumed the SN, immediately notified their loved ones that they’d ingested it and regretted it, and even though EMS reached them in time, they didn’t recognize the telltale symptoms, saw no instructions on the bottle, and had to contact poison control as the child died in front of them."
