All I can say is that I spent the entire series extremely frustrated. In summary- You CAN find a way through emotionally & physically hard times & this series seems to glorify suicide.

Firstly, as many others on here have pointed out- The main character Hannah is her own worst enemy. Every small situation she made into a big one. When life throws you lemons, make lemonade. Many, many people throughout her 'reasons' had reached out to her to help, yet she pushed each one away... but expected them to come running back anyway?! That is not how life works. Sometimes you have to face the consequences, suck it up & recifty the situation. All I could see was that teenagers in a difficult position would see how Hannah reacted in these circumstances & see her reactions as justified & OK? Yes, some of them were justified - Lots were not.

I'm not saying that it didn't portray an important message because it did. I'm trying to put across that suicide is not the only option. There is help & you should try and grasp it with both hands whenever offered to you. Hannah should not have expected ANYONE to come running after her, she should've been responsible for her own actions & taken the help that was offered.

I feel that 'over-reacting' is a good explanation as to how she dealt with situations. Yes, high school/secondary school is hard. If you are bullied then report it & seek help. There were a lot of situations that I watched & I was shouting at the computer as they could've been shrugged off or made into a light hearted situation. PLEASE if anyone is feeling similar, just remember that there is life after school & trust me, it improves massively.

My overall point is that the message & most of the 'reasons' were awful reasons to justify & show why someone would commit suicide. I feel like it could've promoted how to deal with the issues better & how to open up to those who can help. Those who are bullying or even trying to JOKE with you- either REPORT it or LAUGH with them. Don't take life too seriously, love yourself, DO NOT expect things from others when you push them away & seek HELP when needed.
