@Leon Said 
The second sentence of what I said up there is key. I think that 99% of people who are unhappy, for whatever reason, can get themselves out of that unhappiness if they really put themselves to the task - whether it is simply a matter of changing perspective or whether it involves working several years in changing the situation they are in that causes the unhappiness.
It is only when you are in the other 1%, where you are in a situation where there is zero hope of ever getting out of the suffering that you are in, and this suffering overwhelms, or outright eliminates, all the other joys of life, then, would I say that, yes, unhappiness is a reason to end being.
There's something else to consider
I think it's been about five years now I've been saying on and off that I would like to find a quick and painless way out.
I never left, just kept growing more intelligent & enduring as I learned how to dodge around the crap tossed at me.
But
I've also been overcome with a lot more hostile/psychotic fantasizing and much less respect, value, concern and regard for life and others around me.
So sure, people can take the challenge instead of taking their lives but there's a good chance that even though they may come out on top a lot smarter and more resilient, they may not come out as better people.
