I tend to agree with the insurmountable suffering, but even there I am not sure. I do know that in long duration fasting the hunger only last for a few days especially if you find something to occupy your time. I do know that taking advantage of the situations one is in and open up to the experience can lead into some pretty amazing situations. That has occurred in the past for me, 'What works I am not about to fix.'
Now the teenage in depression,, well that comes between him and the Creator,but I tend to think that the emotional turmoil they are going through will then continue through all eternity and their death will be added to it. But what do I know.. just the reasons I don't like the idea for myself.
