This is a very very subjective matter. Some people will staunchly say that there is absoltutely no validity for suicide. Others will say there is.
IMO its a matter of upbringing, traditions, culture, and what not.
For instance, in Japan, the code of bushido, the warrior code (i guess one could compare it to chivalry for knights though not really) - if one lost his honor and shamed his family the only way to reclaim it was to perform seppuku (sp?) - ritual suicide.
In Japan it was long accepted to kill ones self rather than disgrace the family. And the last war the Japanese were in, WW2, it was a very common thing - banzai charges and holding out to the last man. It was so foreign to our soldiers that they seemed wacko - yet in Japan it was the way for as long as they could remember.
So culture and tradition takes a big part of it.
For me, personally, there is no valid reason. I will always fight even if there is little chance. but there is still chance and i'll do it. I won't give in even if i know i have to die.
Recently a senior at a school nearby where I live killed himself in front of everyone at lunch because his former-gf or something wouldn't go to prom with him.
So great, you had problems with your family and was on the verge of moving out. But I betcha your parents cared and guess what, now they are crying and suffering in sorrow for the rest of their lives because you did an act to get attention or because you ewre rejected and felt you were too good not to be.
What will your little brother say when his friends go to your house years later and look at pictures.
"Who's that?"
"My brother."
"What happened to him?"
What will he say then because you chose your way.
