When a suicide sometimes results in other suicide attempts among adolescents in a community, it is known as cluster effect.

This is because adolescents often do what they see other people do. So if a person tries something new, other adolescents are likely to try that as well. Unfortunately, this also applies to suicide, as adolescents are very impressionable and emotional.
