I believe that what they're trying to teach here is that the ones that have it easier than others complain the most, are more dramatic etc. And the ones who struggle either get used to it or just deal with it . It's all about strength. And i believe this show offers a different image of the typical girl who seems to feel sorry for herself and ends up committing suicide. No offense to anyone out there just sharing my opinion. Me myself went through this stage which that's all it is, a stage of life , except for the ones who truly have issues. After high school everything is different.... college offers you a complete different life, decisions, ambitions..... there's so much out there than just High School. No need to end a precious life. Be strong. 13 reasons. .. i believe it shows a different side of what we usually expect from a suicidal show.
