How is the idea of teenage suicide so much harder to understand than
suicide in midlife?

I can tell you (from personal experience) that there just doesn't seem
like there is any help.  Life looks horrible, and they usually don't see 
any way for it to improve.  It is a tragic thing when someone takes their
own life, but many times it isn't just a "desperate plea for help."
