You still haven't answered the question. What if their lives really do suck? What if they really are bottoming out? What then? If you think "your general emo teeny-boppers" are the only ones thinking about suicide, or are even the ones psychologists and psychiatrists are most concerned about when it comes to suicidal ideation, I strongly suggest acknowledging that you don't know your butt from a hole in the ground and that you go do some actual research on the subject. What you're presenting as a concern, isn't.
