I strongly believe that stress can either lead to depression and other psychoneurotic ailments like panic attacks or suicides!

In statement 1: It's clear that life is hard and because many things are expected out of us (all age groups) life becomes stressful and obv stress leads to depression. When they don't recover from depression, the last step is suicide.

But not to forget that in 2nd statement it spoke about teenagers doing suicide.

So, the common element is "stress". Hence Option E.

Yeah, because of the stressfull job, the teenagers attempt suicide. So the statement is dependent on each other.

Is stressful situation the cause here? The main cause is a fast life. And a fast life can obviously lead to a stressful situation. But can fast life lead to a suicide?

According to me, NO.

If you think yes it can. Please explain with an example.
