What is Copycat suicide?
Sometimes, after a person commits [[suicide]], other people will [[copy]] them and also kill themselves. This is called '''copycat suicide'''. People may commit copycat suicide after a person they know commits suicide, or after hearing about a suicide through [[television]] or other [[media]]. After a famous suicide, there may be more copycat suicides. This is called the Werther effect. Sudden rises in copycat suicides can spread through a home, [[School|schools]], or even across an entire [[country]]. These are called cluster suicides. {{stub}} {{Conformity}} [[Category:Suicide]]
