I was thinking about the same thing. It may just be the age difference. We had a recent suicide (I don't know if it is official yet) where a woman took her husbands insulin and went into the river. I think maybe when some teens want out they blame the world around them whereas some adults just tire of despair. Its the difference between doing something thats supposed to be acting outward or acting inward. They both miss there mark though since suicide impacts both you and those around you no matter what your intent. I can't imagine a violent suicide but drowning in cold water doesn't seem so bad. This is not a cry for help, just an observation.
