There are a variety of reasons posited or given for suicide:
Mental disorders
Suffering
Unrequited love
Stress
Grief
Withdrawal or discontinuation of psychoactive substances
As philosophically or ideologically motivated move
To escape punishment or an abusive environment
Guilt or shame
Catastrophic injury
Financial loss
Self sacrifice
As part of a military or social strategy (e.g. suicide attacks)
Belief that life has no inherent value (e.g. absurdism, pessimism, nihilism)
As part of a religious or cult doctrine
Loneliness
To restore honor (e.g. seppuku)
Curiosity for post-life occurrences
Fear of aging
Unresolved sexual issues
Drugs as in the paradoxical effect of some sedatives, or the loss of ones mental state to make clear judgment calls.
Judicial suicide
But seeing how this is a forum for Japan:
Aokigahara in Japan is the second most popular place in the world (behind the golden gate bridge in San Francisco California) to commit suicide.
If a person is under the list above, they can very well be in a position to commit suicide, however, as many have stated, the individual being reserves the right to choose that action it is what makes us alive.
You play a game because you can lose, not because you always win, if you did not have the option to die, there would be no reason to live. God placed us on this earth for a reason, it is up to us to try to find the answer and suicide is not the correct answer, ever. Look at Hellen Keller, and ask yourself, try to do better or give up, she went on to do amazing things later in life, had she taken her own life, we'd not seen the beauty she had inside.
