13 reasons why gives people with mental illness a bad rap; It portrays depression, ptsd, and suicide in very unhealthy ways. This show is incredibly ignorant, insensitive, offensive, and appalling. Besides the fact that it one thousand percent portrays mental illness in the worst way imaginable it also has terrible writing. Whoever wrote the script really doesn't seem to know how teens or even human beings communicate with one another. This show is cheesy, cliche, incredibly insensitive and ignorant, and a plain waste of money. Please do not waste your time on this series as it is completely and utterly awful.
