A breakup can be very painful. Compounding it with other problems such as difficulty finding work and feelings of parental disapproval can lead to a very difficult time and dark thoughts.
When someone is in such a place and reaching out for help, telling the person that there is no intrinsic value to life and that there isn't anything wrong with suicide is totally irresponsible. Arguing with people who are trying to be supportive to someone who is going through common but very difficult life experiences is not helpful. There are more appropriate areas and threads for such comments rather than to derail an issue thread.
