Most humans find it very hard to resist social pressure. A whole society doing crazy things in lockstep - until the society is destroyed or otherwise comes to grief as a whole - is unfortunately a recurring theme in history. I've seen it said that there are now helplines for teenagers in the position of 'I'm gay, and my crazy fundamentalist parents have kicked me out of the house or threatened to kill me'. Maybe things are at the point where we need helplines for teenagers in the position of 'my crazy helicopter parents are putting so much pressure on me that I'm thinking of committing suicide just so I don't have to go to school anymore'.
