Hunter Thompson commited suicide because he didnt want to be an old, helpless man slowly decaying. This sort of thing I am totally for. He had already lived a full life, and didnt want to spoil it by not being able to take care of himself.

Kids who do it though probably just need someone to talk to about things. The on kid I knew who did it seemed like the happiest person you could meet, until they found him hanging from a billboard.

In short, wait until you are 60 or so to do it.
