Of course by this same token most people thinking about suicide don't do it. I do find it a bit interesting they choose the 15-29 age range for their shocker sentence. While it being the 4th leading cause of death for that range sounds bad, you have frame it with overall death in that age range is very rare. When looking only at suicide worldwide at 50 and above the numbers go up drastically. As in from 30 to 50 the suicide rates is 4x and 50 to 70 again doubles. I'm a very big supporter of personal freedom, even an unpopular opinion of saying suicide for any adult should legal and available. I think it's a bad choice that shouldn't be done but I think it's an individual choice. This same view I would have on abortion, you shouldn't do it but you should choose. Thinking about the problem is this way means to prevent suicide we must stop thinking this is something that only groups we consider traditionally as marginalized are doing. When you look at pre-teens through 20's yes it's largely these traditionally marginalized groups of people it affects. Statistically though they are a small percentage of overall suicides. While we should strive to prevent all suicides we need to frame the problem correctly. The vast majority of suicides worldwide are not marginalized people they are traditionally mainstream individuals of society that are doing it. Not just by a small percentage more it is the vast majority of suicides are mainstream non-traditionally marginalized people. If society wants to prevent suicides we need to take a long hard look at why most seem to be mainstream people who should not be disaffected by society. Continuing to frame the problem as a young people problem or a marginalized people doesn't help reduce the suicide rate. All it does is provide headlines for people to wring their hands and weep over.
