16. I think they were close to the edge for some time.

Who knows what finally pushed them (3 in total in just one week, 2 from Parkland survivors) over the edge. It could be the political climate in general or something personal and specific. If they were already feeling hopeless and exhausted, the overall depressed feeling in the US right now could have been a contributing factor too. I know several people who have done this. Very specific reasoning is behind each person's individual decision.
