I felt this TV show really relates to me, being in high school i know what this feels like and us, as teenagers go through these things everyday, this TV show is quite a depressing piece, i would definitely recommend it though, it just has an something to it that grabs your attention, its probably what i said before, that i and others can relate so well to it. I know from what i've heard, that there was been many suicides around my area, including some friends of my friends and its so hard to take it all in, but this TV shows a very unique and different side to suicide, the tapes i thought were an amazing was to explain her time at the school with the people around her. It just goes to show that there needs to be more awareness for teenagers and pretty much anyone who is even just thinking about these ideas and thoughts. I would love to meet Jay Asher (the author) and would like to seek further information on why she chose this topic. If you have read this far, and you are going through something like this at any time of your life, just know a few things; 1, that there is always hope in this world no matter who your are or where you come from and 2, there is always someone to talk to, DO NOT be shy, it is really important that people speak with others, even if its just telling your closest friend. Thanks for your time, Enjoy the Show :) and have a terrific day!
