And that is a major issue for many younger people who contemplate suicide.

I think it's more that they want to unburden themselves, but knowing that doing so will burden their close ones is what keeps them from doing it.

Quite nightmarish, if you think about it.

Your comment assumes a positive change is impossible.

I almost killed myself when I was in high school but decided not to because I didn't want to hurt my family. That bought me enough time to get things straightened out and now I am very thankful to be here.

It is a nightmare if positive change does not come about. You're stuck in pain for as long as you refuse to bring others pain.
