I agree, Little Hawk, but sometimes total despair can be almost paralysing, and finding any motivation is very hard. I have been in that state before, a long time ago, and even getting up from the chair was a major effort. I found (if I could summon the energy) going outside and walking among trees, or in the countryside, could help. Nature heals, but sometimes nothing works. And one doesn't want to trouble ones friends. A young teenager in such a frame of mind could well feel that death is preferable.
