I'm torn as to what I think about this. On the one hand it's probably based on the real life events of the children who ended up killing themselves that was mentioned earlier so could be viewed as crass, insensitive and opportunistic.
On the other hand it may draw attention to the issue to people who might not have been aware of these tragedies.

If its fictional it can't be based on actual events. Real events could possibly have influenced the writer a bit or given him an idea but that's probably all it is
