I have had the chance to meet many who have tried, and more than a few who have succeeded. All have been young.
With all of them, I can say that they were wrong. Those who have tried, but not succeeded, were all just crying for help. Those who have succeeded, were all, I think, just crying for help, but failed.
This is not to say that there are not those for which it is the right choice, a la Neitsche. There is some solice in the chance of escape from misery, but the young mistake slight discomfort for ever-present misery too easily.
