What I want to really know is, the "13 reasons why I actually watched this." But I did. I thought the actors did an outstanding performance in this melodramatic long journey through this one girl's suicide. I thought the tape scenario was excellent for us folks who are an actual survivor of suicide. There were many loopholes I saw, and flashback scenes were excruciating. Seriously? Teens act like this? Go for coffee? Have teen mentors? I have a teen. Raised several. They are not like this.

The main character Hannah, was cute, somewhat popular and placed herself into situations she didn't need to be in. It happens, and the first bad thing with Justin was justified. After that, it seemed like she was a bit petty. (except the end tape) Oh it was just as excruciating to watch as it is to keep reliving this show in my head. Why on earth did she write that poem, and why was she upset that it was published? She must have actually given that poem to that Magazine guy... What 17 year old boy can relate to his mom telling him about the case, plus she was the attorney???

In any case, it is this viewer's assumption that this LONG and dull show ( and it is LONG) is a glorification for any teenage girl who thinks she can commit suicide and "blame all those who made it happen" - thus the thought of " OKAY, THEY'LL BE SO SORRY WHEN I AM DEAD! HAHAHA I WILL MAKE THEM PAY!" Good fodder for the next victim. Good for you, you TV people. It just doesn't make sense. The whole Tony guy, the broken friendships- ( that's life, kids) and the note of saying "Best Ass"? It wasn't portrayed that she was a church going Mennonite, so what is that?

This long series could have been surmised in one short sad movie. But yet, we bring on a second season- probably about a kid who kills all the popular kids at the school. Bad call, this show. Most of the time I wanted to tell this girl,(who seemed so spoiled that she wanted to kill herself over a few friends didn't go back for her when she yelled at them to leave her alone.)

This isn't sympathetic to the suicide victim, but a punishment for anyone for who ever has been a survivor of a child, spouse, sibling, friend of a suicide. It's a poor stab at what we want to hear, but not an actual environment of teenage homes. What homes do you know that every parent is a "eat at the table, let's say grace- and you are grounded, but not" (Oh, sorry mom, I'll never do that again, okay? Okay, Honey- here, have some weed) OMG I am going nuts that this is on the air.
