No, it's a mobbing, which is a coordinated, extensive and premeditated psychological attack to cause harm to someone. Driving them to suicide is called "intentional harm" - and that turns the suicide into homicide.
Any of you have teens who coordinated vicious psychological mobbing attacks over a period of months with intent to destroy - and then write gleeful facebook posts celebrating the death? Is THAT what you mean by "teens who are mean"?
>>Remember—this is a suicide. Not a murder. What you have here are people being accused of being mean teens. Any of you have any teens who were mean?

Six people is a mob? I think it would be more of a clique.

How is this different from how the “Jocks treat the nerds” or any of that sort of high-school social dynamic?

And if I make a no-bones, open, declaration that I think you’re a dumb-ass [and don’t like you], and you go and kill yourself how does that make me culpable? The other option, that I think you’re a dumb-ass [and don’t like you], yet keep everything hidden [to the point of pretending that you’re ‘a-ok’] seems a bit dishonest...

Certainly it’s insensitive and unsympathetic, but how is it *criminal* to be glad that someone you despise is dead? [John Murtha, anyone?] If, say, Nancy Pelosi were to die and you saw a facebook post saying that was a good thing; would you support an investigation into that person based solely on that comment?

I’m not sure what the previous poster meant by it.
