Would a non-gratuitous, single-paragraph suicide scene violate the PG-13 guideline? Yes, it is quite vital to the story as well as the underlying themes.

Highly recommend deleting the ASAP as judges do browse the forum and seeing it would violate anonymity. 

That being said, I don’t think so. Volumes have had much darker things.
