What causes lead to teenage suicide?
Suicide is a tremendously complicated subject. Suicide in teenagers more so. Those who successfully attempt suicide generally tend to be males in their twenties with a history of serious mental illness (usually, but not always, type 1 Bipolar Affective Disorder), a history of alcohol and drug abuse, a history of suicide in their families and access to deadly weapons. As you can see, the general trend is that teenagers are unlikely to successfully attempt suicide. The trend is complicated by the fact that unsuccessful attempts are most likely to be made by females in their teens. Which puts us right in the wheel house of your question. Female in their teens who attempt suicide have a particular set of increased risk factors. Suicide attempts are obviously co-morbid with mental health disorders (only the terminally ill, in most Western countries, choose to commit suicide for reasons not based on mental health). This group is generally too young to be Bipolar (the leading mental health risk group for suicide), as that disease typically has an on-set after age 19. Thus depression and personality disorders would be greater causes in this age group. In this group there is also a strong co-morbidity with eating disorders, particularly anorexia nervosa; eating disorders are overwhelming co-morbid with a history of sexual abuse. So the leading causes for attempted suicide in one's teens (and the attendant risk of a successful suicide) include; the patient is female; the patient is depressed or suffers from a personality disorder; the patient is anorexic; and the patient has a history of sexual abuse.
What is the link between heredity and the causes od mental disorder?
Heredity plays a role in the predisposition to mental disorders. Certain mental disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, have a genetic component that can increase the risk of developing the disorder if there is a family history. However, environmental factors also interact with genetic predispositions to influence the development of mental disorders.
What triggers a teen to suicide?
It has been shown in studies that over 90% of those who commit suicide were dealing with a mental disorder and depression. Such mental disorders cause depression, feelings of hopelessness, distress, and these feelings are often a trigger for suicide. Severe depression caused by mental disorders accompanied by the struggles of life, financial problems, struggle to keep a job, relationship struggles, bullying, and the fact that a very large percent of those with mental disorders receive no treatment, it can be understood more clearly, why suicide rates for the mentally ill are so high. So be aware of the signs of depression, feelings of hopelessness, a person often making statements of despair, and stating that they have nothing to look forward to, is at risk for suicide.
Stress rarely contributes to mental disorders?

Prolonged or severe stress can negatively impact mental health and may increase the risk of developing a mental disorder. It's essential to manage stress effectively to prevent its potential contribution to mental health issues.
