Strong people do not commit suicide. Weak people do not commit suicide. Stupid people do.
Another significant factor is the pressure of our society. We have to excel in life, buy newest goods and so on. If something fails, one starts feeling inferior and has to either rise again, stop minding his/her image or kill himself/herself.
Much like bullying is an act of notifying the victim that he or she has to change if s/he wants to be tolerated by others, i.e. the normal, mainstream crowd (one can rise above and change the norm).
Whilst facing an issue, suicide is an inferior option when compared with others, but a.) it is fairly romanticized by the media and b.) it is somewhat refreshing to know that you can end it all anytime (to me such control of my life is very appealing, despite I would never kill myself). These and some other factors is what makes this act exist to these days.
Suicide is an option, but I would much rather keep on living to see how things turn out.
