We know it has a genetic factor.

We also know that's not the full story, and that people who lose a parent at a young age for any reason are more likely to struggle emotionally.

When teenage suicide clusters hit all the small towns within 50 miles of each other, you're positing that they were actually half-siblings and didn't know it, eh?

I'm glad people like you downvote me, it lets me know that I'm right.

HN doesn't let you downvote people who respond directly to you. Don't make assumptions like that.
