Probably a majorty of suicide events is what psychiatrists and psychologists call "appellativer Selbstmord". But psychologists tend to think all suicides are just calls for help, and that is wrong. Sometimes, it is a decision for death, and as such: a decision meant for real.

And who am I and who are we to judge and argue with somebody making that decision? We have no right at all to sentence people to life that for a reason valid to them they do not want anymore. We just should make sure that it indeed is not just a call for help, and his/her reasons are not just a temporary mood that comes and goes occasionally. How to achieve that? Can only be something done by closest friends and family. To catch failing suicide candidates and put them into psychiatry until they have convinced a doctor that now they want to live, like it is done in Germany, to me is not the right way.

In case of this girl, it obviously was a collapse of defenses against a social environment mocking about her victimhood and turning against her instead of giving her support. That is what makes it so tragic, and enraging.
