This is probably a very ignorant thought to have, but why would anybody kill themselves life is such wonderful privilege to have
I wouldn't say life is a privilege to begin with. It's a gift. But even gifts can be toxic. Suicide nearly always (I'm assuming this) occurs through depression, and a depression is like a reverse nightmare. You don't fall asleep and enter a nightmare, you wake up in one. Suicide will always be a viable option in the minds of those who live like that. When the heat of your mental state pushes you to the edge, the fear of falling will be less grave than the fear of the flames in your back.
Not meaning to disrespect people who've died through suicide, I have had close people go down that path myself. These people have had terrible conditions not only at home but socially as well. Putting myself in their shoes would probably change my current position towards suicide.
However, when it comes to reasons like lets say parents scolding you by removing your internet momentarily, getting a bad grade, breaking up etc I really can't understand that.
Your life is not ruined. You're just scared of change (possibly for the better since you usually learn from mistakes you make or unfortunate things that occur).
I do realize this want for suicide is most likely a cry for attention at this stage, but those cries shouldn't go unnoticed anyway. Who knows how a kid who've lived online his entire life would react if suddenly his whole world stop spinning for him.
I do think the approach to cut something off without compromise is stupid. Teens are capable of reasoning as long as you treat them respectfully, which lots of parents overlook since they 'pay the bills' and you must obay them.
