I respect your opinion and agree there should be choice. It just is so hard to get this subject talked about...especially with our younger people.
My boys all know kids who have tried and/or succeeded. They also know they have "permission" to bring it up and talk about it at home...even if it is painful for their dad. It is such a complicated subject. For example, I don't know if in the face of overwhelming pain if I would still consider it Ok to publicly acknowledge that an ill individual took their life. And mental illness counts. *sigh* It is a difficult call...so I agree with you. Choice is so important as is wide-spread education. There MUST be a way to do both.
