"Thirteen Reason Why" is a show that is centered around suicide. Although it is a very well done show, I think that it could have been a lot more knowledgeable about the subject it was focusing on. I know it is told from the point of view where kids don't know a whole lot about suicide, but I think because it is targeting an age group where they are very influential that they should have been a lot more cautious with how they did it. Many shows try to stay clear of touchy and controversial topics that "Thirteen Reasons Why" focuses on, and so I commend this show for breaking through that boundary that needed to be broken. It makes talking about suicide a whole lot easier and that is very important in this day and age.

However, one of my main issues with this show is how they didn't address mental health . It had the chance to be a lot more educational.

I see lots of posts where everybody is thinking she's being "dramatic" or "over the top", but that's coming from people who haven't been what she's through and can't feel what she's feeling. Its understandable why these people feel this way. Like I mentioned earlier, the show doesn't properly explain why by Hannah makes the choices that she does. It explains why she feels she makes the choices, but not the mental health at play. Something that the show could have had, is putting help lines at the beginning or end of the show.

Overall I think this show is ground breaking and even though it is very difficult to watch I, think it is important for people to do so.
