Some people think the world would be better without suicidal people because they do not understand them. Are suicidal people needed? There are many horrible contributions that add up to a successful suicide; but there are also many ways to prevent them. First and foremost, the causes. Family helps cause the way teens act. Not all parents of teens get along well. Teenagers are not blind; they can see the problems of their problems and are affected in one way or another.

For, example drinking, teens are told that they can't have alcohol till they're of age and teens know better than to drink. This is not a good argument because though they are mature, the development of the teen brain is still under construction. In the "Adolescent brain development" article it says "Teen's emotional maturity still develops after age 16."
