Or there could literally be no reason at all. Some people just crack.
Where I'm from, we have had 13 teen suicides in the last few years. The "suicide awareness" hype does absolutely nothing. At my school, it has literally turned into a charade for people to bring positive attention to themselves. After every suicide in my town, people at my school wear yellow, while continuing to judge one another and ignore the people who may need a friend the most. I think people should truly change something, because wearing yellow has become extremely hypocritical and fake in my eyes, thus why I never take part in it.
As cheesy as it sounds, loving one another is really the only solution, and that doesn't even always work. Some people have a twisted and warped way of looking at things, and there isn't much people can do about it. Unless of course, they themselves ask for help.
Bullying is definitely a cause though, so I'd encourage everyone to just be accepting of one another. One of the main problems in life is that people care far too much about what others think. If you can defeat that mindset, you'll have an easier time accepting and helping others.

Very true. What's an anti-bullying rally going to do to stop bullies? Who cares if all these celebrities are getting involved and playing music at the crowd for these rallies. Exactly, where are the bullies? In the very same crowd at the anti-bullying rally. Having a good time. Next day at school, same thing happens again. Nothing changes. They sugar coat it way too much. Like you said, wear yellow to support the cause. What exactly is that gonna do? "Oh, you didn't wear yellow look at you. You don't care for all those poor sad people."
Often times that isn't the case. It's just the mentality where they think they're helping but nothing changes. Sure, there's awareness out there. But who's going to step up and say so-and-so is getting bullied or wants to commit suicide then seek help for them? That's what truly counts.
