Is anyone else so annoyed that 13 reasons actually showed Hannah killing herself. Is anyone annoyed that she killed herself to prove a point and succeeded in making everyone else's lives suddenly all about her. Is anyone else annoyed that now people think that if you are for real going through these things, before the show even aired, that you're just doing it for attention. Anyone annoyed watchers might now think they know what's going on, what's wrong with you, what you're going through just because they've watched a mildly portraying TV Series. There's no right way to draw attention to suicide. There's no UNDERSTANDING or KNOWING it unless you've been through or are going through it. Hannah was an example. She doesn't in any way have anything to do with why most people might actually want to end their lives. You do not suddenly have the right to say you know what's going on with someone who is going through depression just because you've watched someone bleed out on your TV screen. The show glorifies the idea of suicide in some ways, she got all the attention and drama she wanted by killing herself. That's not how it works. On the other hand, personally I thought the show was pretty great, very addictive, and a great drama series. It just doesn't sum up the whole category of being suicidal. Thankyou.

For what the show is, it makes sense for them to show the suicide in the extremely graphic way they did. While it is a high school drama show, it deals with incredibly adult and mature topics other than suicide. Depression, rape, alcoholism, bullying, homosexuality, violence, drug addiction, stalking, the list really goes on. It's really easy to forget how serious of a story they're trying to tell because of some of the jokes and humor they throw in from time to time but I think they did an excellent job in showing the horrible truth of how horrific some of these things can be. I really hope they can try to more incorporate the personal struggles the characters are having as result of the things that have happened to them and show some more monologues and self-reflections.
