We each have our own opinions and interpretations of Frost. We can't base these interpretations on what our teacher thinks (lord knows they're not perfect) or what 99% of critics believe, or whatever. Poetry is meant to be read on many different levels (especially Frost's) and therefore means different things to different people. If we could ask Frost what he was talking about in this poem, suicide or choices or nature or obligations, he would probably say yes.
Nature and obligation make up the surface level, death and perhaps a longing for death go beneath the surface. In order to fully appreciate the full beauty of a poem, more than just the literal meaning has to be taken into account. Maybe that's why so many people don't enjoy poetry...
