Netflix marked "13 Reasons Why" as TRENDING. I found it to be a poignant series. Some characters treated Hannah horribly, others just treated her as most other 16 or 17 year old kids. But, the series reinforced the idea that you never really know how ones behavior impacts others. So, it was a reminder that I must treat all people with dignity and respect. My behavior could be the thing that sends someone over the edge and they do something irrational.

Some other reviews said that mental illness can't be cured with kindness. True, but had people treated Hannah well, then she would not have been driven to the point of taking her own life. Also, when you are 16 years old, you do not have the resources to seek help without assistance. Hannah begged for help and was ignored.

What is the take-away? BE KIND TO OTHERS!
