Because they think that life won't become better. Usually they are wrong because most people grow up from harassing each other.

The highest rate of suicide is young men who's wife left them, destroyed their family, and took their children. All their hope for a future are gone.

With most people it's because they've felt so much pain and sadness they feel that death would be a gift and they just can't cope anymore. For other people it may simply be they are afraid of ageing.

They think that the way things are today will always be. That can make you lose hope and will to take another day. Life changes in an instant, sometimes for the worse but yes, sometimes for the better. Wait for a better day! I am.

Because they feel so alone, depress and believe that life will get worst and never better also people don't think of the consequences but all they think about is that if commit suicide then all the problems and worries will go away

I still think they are weak. Strong people do not abandon everything because they have made a few mistakes.

There are several different types of suicide. Altruistic, Anomic, Fatalistic, and Egoistic. Each of them occurs for different situations. Altruistic suicide we hear about in the news all the time. This type is due to too much social integration where the groups goals are seen as more important than the individuals needs. Someone who runs into a burning building to save a child and gets crushed by burning rubble or a soldier who throws himself on top of a grenade to save his squad is an example of this. The opposite of this is Egoistic where there is too little social integration and the individual out of loneliness kills themself. Durkheim noted this among single men particularly when he wrote his book "Suicide" in 1890. A modern example would be a gay teen is alienated by his peers and so hangs himself. Anomic is another type which comes from a state of normlessness in society. Durkheim when he wrote his book noticed this type in several industrializing countries due to the massive changes being done to the fabric of society by the industrial revolution. People for hundreds of years mostly lived out in the country and were working on farms but in less than a generation most people were living in cities and working in factories and this state of normlessness caused a spike in suicides in many countries including Durkheim's native France. Finally there is Fatalistic suicide which is caused by the exact opposite of Anomic Suicide. This type is very rare and it occurs when an individual is in a highly structured, over regulated environment like a prison and they do it as a means of escape. Hope that helps :)
