I attempted suicide at fifteen years old (~2009)--three schools, two countries, and dad had lost his job twice in just three years. I'd say for me it was entirely based on social isolation and lack of self worth. I hadn't been able to participate in any sports teams or academics like I wanted since I started over twice back-to-back (in different countries, even). Very hopeless time for me and didn't feel like our family was ever going to get out of that situation.

Computers did not help me because I spent long hours on them in my room alone and if I didn't have them I likely would have found some group at school to fit in with.
