We all had pressure as young adults but most didn't commit suicide when I was growing up. I think social media has contributed greatly to this epidemic.

I get what you’re saying, but in this case I know at least one of the kids who committed suicide was shite all over by his parents. Brought shame to the family, wasn’t as good as his siblings, etc. You’d be hard pressed to find many people who got that level of ridicule from parents for only getting into A&M. It’s despicable.
