Much the same down here.

Have you ever seen teenage girls mourn when one of their "friends" dies?
What I mean by "friends" is someone who went to their school but they didn't actually know that person.

It happened recently at the High School my girls went to. A girl from the school was tragically killed in a car accident.
Apparently she wasn't that popular but on the day of the funeral just about every girl that was in the same year as her was there. Almost 400 of them!
My girls didn't go but some girls that did said the church was full of crying and hysterical teenage girls.

The same thing happened when Princess Dianna died but on a global scale.
It was just crazy seeing those sea of flowers in front of Kensington and Buckingham Palace.
