My intepretation: A young person commits suicide, baffling her parents and her friends, all of whom cared very deeply for her. She killed herself out of alienation, seeing everyone else's normal and happy family -- "say hello to cory's mom," "freddy's mom," etc -- and not being able connect that percieved social normalcy (purity) with anything she saw in her own life. She sees nothing but her own otherness, while everyone else wonders why she's so blind to the fact that they love her.
