Some great posts here on a very difficult subject. Not to over-generalize, but I wonder if the lack of reverence for life in today's society is a contributing factor. People are told that before they are born, they are just a glob of "fetal tissue". Post-partum abortion is being cheered on by certain politicians. It's not difficult to see how this kind of culture could contribute to someone with depression thinking of their life as not having any value. Certainly not the entire explanation, but it can't help.
I think this is why we see so many troubled youth, think about it. When we were growing up we were happy, encouraged that life was ours for the getting, Sky was the limit, compare that to the message the left has instilled into today’s youth.
