Fourth, often one teen suicide is followed by a rash of teen suicides. A joke is a good example of a meme. One employs a meme according to the evolved mind. Some of these plans and subplans are aimed at status shifts. This is the way teen suicide memes work.
People focus a lot of attention on the individual who committed suicide.
I know this is a just so story, but it rings true to me. Again, sorry for the length of this posting. I hope my attempt to keep this short haven't made it too unclear.
