I haven't seen the figures claiming that to be the case though, a 30% spike seems huge.
Again I have to reiterate that I don't think the show handles mental health or suicide well at all. Showing the aftermath of the suicide doesn't mitigate the fact that it's being used as the focus plot point for some relatively cheap teen drama and is handled in a dramatised, unrealistic way. Showing that her friends and family were upset does not mean that the act isn't glorified. Its a ham-fisted plot device.

You could say that about alot of issues on alot of shows though
