You really are missing the point. Knowledge of the actual act of ending their life isn't what was being questioned; it was knowledge of the gravity of the situation which was. Most kids have a very limited understanding of death and its consequences, and I say this from personal experience, and so I can fully see how it would only be the short-term, shallow consequences that Marguerite mentioned that would come to mind.

However bleak things seem, however insurmountable the darkness appears, remember that you have worth and nothing can take that away.
