I think it shouldn't be overlooked, though, that not all depression/suicide is due to environmental causes. Growing up I was suicidal multiple times (first time I was 8) and I had a relatively nice life. I had two parents in the same house, wasn't particularly poor, lived in a nice town, was only mildly bullied once (it was hard but relatively insignificant in the long-run). However, I have clinical depression that is rooted inside me. It will most likely be something I always deal with, no matter what is happening around me.
