The new Netflix original show "13 Reasons Why" has sparked controversy throughout high schools, colleges, and parents of young children all throughout the U.S. Although the show provides a "may contain sensitive content for some viewers," some may argue that wasn't enough.

13 Reasons Why brings attention to many serious and potentially triggering topics such as suicide, bullying, harassment, and sexual assault. Many have debated about whether the show was produced in a way that could be educational or if it has the potential to be detrimental or scarring to viewers who have been through these life changing situations.

As a 17-year-old senior in high school watching this show, some of the scenes in this show required me to cover the screen because of how graphic they are, even though I am not sensitive to blood, nor have I ever been a victim of sexual assault or harassment. I can't imagine the affect of 13 Reasons Why on someone who has. This show is appropriately rated TV-MA, but the thought of a middle-school, or even early high school aged child clicking on this show frightens me.
