13 Reasons Why Reflection

The television show that I want to talk about is a netflix series named “ 13 Reasons Why” this show is about a high school girl named Hannah who goes through betrayal and bullying while she is in high school. She was going through a lot which drove her to suicide and she made thirteen tapes before she comitted sucide. In these tapes she tells stories about people that had something to do with her suicide. Either they did something to her or they bullied her or betrayed her. These tapes get dropped off at one of her friends house who is named Clay, he listens to it and follows the instructions and once he is done he passes them on to the next person on the list. I choose to talk about this show because we recently learned about different sucidie types, which I was surprised by since I did not think there were such things as sucuide types. Also since we did have to look at different people and try to deterime what type os sucuide they commited I figured that I would try to figure out what type of suicide Hannah comitted. After watching the show again I think she comitted atruistic suicide. She lived in a society where girls had to look a certain way or act a certain way I think she just had too much pressure to keep up with everything and on top of that she was being bullied and betrayed. I like how this show shows awareness and after every episode there is a hotline number that is provided in case anyone is having these thoughts or if they know anyone. It is a very serious and emotional topic, but like I said it raises awareness so I hope that people are more comfortable with reaching out to get help.
