Hello! I'm 16/female, just in case you needed that piece of information in order to answer.
Ok, so I've been realizing more and more that the people around me are getting depressed and thinking about killing themselves lately, and its making me really curious. Of course there are the common reasons, stress, depression, and schizophrenia, but what are all of the reasons why people commit suicide? Or self harm? I just want to know if I'm missing something here...
Don't worry, I'm not one of those dumbasses. I'm an extremely happy and grateful person. I'm just completely confused...
I appreciate all answers that come my way in advance, and have a wonderful day everyone :) (link)

They aren't dumbasses. People go through different problems and, occasionally, those problems effect them too heavily and they feel they've nothing to live for. You and I will never understand how that feels because we don't experience what they experience. Sometimes life is just too tragic for some people.
If you put much thought beyond our comfortable surroundings, the world is a tragedy. There's so much rape, disease, and poverty all over the world that we don't consider daily. And why should we, right? Thinking about how a good chunk of the world is living in a nightmare doesn't solve anything. Some people don't have a choice but to think about it. Some people naturally feel hurt by other people's pain to such a degree that the state of the world depresses them so much that they don't want to be apart of it.
And sometimes people are just depressed without reason. It has nothing to do with their circumstances or the condition anyone else lives in. They just wake up not wanting to be awake. It's a chemical imbalance and these people often require medication to stop the pain that they feel.
These are the three circumstances that I see often. Add to that, your young age and how emotional younger people tend to be and that could explain why this seems more prevalent to you.
