Levii, part of what  you say may apply in the real world; The 100 isn't a great model for mental health in any way - nor does it claim to be.

Most people who are suffering from suicidal thoughts *are* thinking of others, at the same time, their brain is telling them "no one can help you and the only wayt to end your pain is to just end it." It - is life. But it's not that clear in the mind of most people who are at risk of suicide.

People *die from* suicide most of the time. I leave out those w/chronic illness who, in their state/Country, follow the procedure for assisted suicide. That's different.

Most who die from suicide are suffering with various forms of mental illness (brain disorder) - culd be Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Schizophrenia, a mix of these and/or other brain disorders. T hese people either didn't get treatment, got the wrong treatment, or couldn't stick w/treatment b/c of side effects. I know this for a fact - I nearly died twice from the evil that is suicide.

I think Jasper loved - and was in love with - Monty. Don't think it started that way. But in the end, he felt abandoned. In his world (not ours), death is always close. It was a choice between pain and the end of pain, and in his case, the latter was better.

Luckily in the real world, we have options to show people nothing is the end of the world when we are depressed and feel as if no one cares, loves, or even wants to stay our friends.

Suicide isn't something move people do (excluding those who do so by blowing themselvers up to hurt other people as an act of terror). Suicide is the effect of mental illness. Much like dying from a heart attack is from heat disease. All preventable, just need to do it sooner rather than later.
