> Unfortunately, I satisfy your criteria required for understanding suicide, so I vehemently disagree with your assertion that "Suicide is a very rational reaction to life." OK, you're certainly entitled to your opinion and to disagree with mine. Especially when we're discussing teenagers, who haven't even lived one fifth of their expected lifespan. It was only a short time ago that it was common in Europe and elsewhere for 15 year olds to be starting families. Today, many 15 year olds (and younger), commit suicide. What exactly are you seeking to accomplish by emphasizing his age and your arbitrary requirement on what the "right amount of life" is?
