    It's an interesting problem overall.

    On the one hand, the subject is important and age appropriate. On the other hand, there is a clear statistical correlation between media focusing on suicides and an increase in actual suicides. So what to do?

    I believe in "responsible disclosure", and by that I intend treating the subject matter with respect (not glorification or damnation), and involving relevant mental health expertise in a discussion as part of the story (like in #Sopranos).
