It's not an especially high amount for the age-group and area. It's being brought to attention because of the alleged link that no-one has been able to find. If it wasn't for the press most people outside the area would be none the wiser.
For example I know of at least 3 people of similar ages committing suicide since the turn of the year in a small part of West Scotland. That gives it a similar level as the area in South Wales but there isn't any talk of suicide pact or doomsday cults.
It's desperately sad that people with everything to live for decide to take the option of ending their own lives and more should be done to help them but thinking up conspiracy theories doesn't help anyone.
