Yes but then why would it impact girls far more than boys?

Doesn't answer OP's question, but males and females have different behavior around suicide in general (in aggregate obviously).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicid...

Females are far more likely than males to attempt suicide, and males are far more likely than females to die by suicide (be successful in their attempt).
