You let me know when you see a headline that a person killed themselves because they watched 13 reasons why, and then you can go ahead and make those claims.


Until then, I don't see how the message is misleading in any way, shape, or form.

Fortunately, nobody has commited suicide (at least as of now). But here's something from the link I provided earlier:

lol you are defending this shit show so hard its hilarious

Funny how defending human empathy is hilarious to you.






This is where parents, teacher, and adults have to step and and find out what's going on and we should be THANKFUL that a show has created a conversation to make this topic more widespread to help people who might be in danger.

FICTION

this. it was a legit 10/10 toilet read.

The show is directed to teens and young adults, not their parents/teachers. If parents and teachers have to step in, it's because of the show's incompetence in delivering a message in accordance to their target audience. If the show's producers wanted to help depressed kids then they should have done so with a clear message they could understand and follow the guidelines of psychologists, which seem to be almost unanimously alarmed by the show's message and portrayal of suicide.

I'm talking about parents recognizing bullying or suicidal or self inflicting instances and doing something about it to help.



Remember.....this is based on a book. The show isn't about directly helping people with suicidal thoughts, it's about preventing people from even getting to the stage of having those thoughts by showing how varying types of bullying can hurt someone. We don't want people to ever be in situation where they have suicidal thoughts because society has wronged them. It's about prevention.


I honestly don't see any harm in this show, and Truely believe that it sends positive messages on trying to show people right from wrong in social behavior.

I'll be civil with you, i dug myself deep into this show, I analyzed it, I understood alll the messages and really believe that the messages it conveys are meaningful. I don't believe at all that there could be any negative impact. You don't have to agree with that, but claiming someone will take their life with a direct relation to the show is just not plausible to me.

the parents who are bitching about this show are the same parents who have no problem with their kids watching all the other fucked up gore, nudity infested shows on tv

Just watched episode 1. It's pretty heartbreaking and very expertly constructed to be so. The interactions between clay and Hannah, the small smiles and camera trickery. Almost as well crafted as Grave of the fireflies to make you feel. Only it doesn't really feel quite natural enough tbh.

Also I'm not sure at the moment what the message is supposed to be.

Antibullying or antisuicide? Something else?
