TV series raises concern with school boards

High schools are warning parents about the show.

The letter also talks about the heavy drinking, drug use, and bullying that are common themes on the show. She says if parents watch with their children, “It could be a way to open up conversations about suicide to keep kids safe, for if they have people reach out to them, and connect with them, help them work through these hard times”.

“I think the show is a good avenue to get that conversation started because it’s a very sensitive topic”, Carla Vidrine of Lafayette said.

Critics of the series say it glamorized teenage suicide. But I also think it is an important show for young men.

“It’s very graphic”, said West. Suicide rates have risen steadily in the last 15 years, tripling for teen girls under age 14, and suicide is the second leading cause of death among people aged 15-24. The AFSP cites an extensive 2014 study of Arkansas students as evidence for increased concern. I thought that the individuals would be heartbroken, defeated, and remorseful, but they weren’t – at least not everyone on the tape was.

“We want families with students who are impressionable or vulnerable to these ideas and images to be aware that “13 Reasons Why” could be hard for these students to process”, the newsletter said.

Please talk with your kids regularly.

A controversial Netflix series is sparking action from school officials in the Milwaukee area. Kitrick is anxious students will shy away from getting help.

“I think mature audiences can definitely gain knowledge and perspective from not only Hannah’s point of view but others”, Hill said. In that way, concerned people will be able to help those in need.

Previously admitting to Rolling Stone magazine that she attempted to commit suicide “multiple times” in the past, the 20-year-old daughter of late pop legend Michael Jackson described “13 Reasons Why” to be an “extremely triggering thing to watch”.

“I watched “13 Reasons Why” the day it came out”, said sophomore Rhianna Teubert.

Hannah Baker isn’t done mentally and emotionally haunting her classmates. I would go to them.’ And I think that was such a attractive answer, because there was something very positive that came out of this show for him.

These conversations inspired her to help, as she knew the emotional and physical pain of depression.

“It was a 13 reason type list, 13 reason why you make me angry, 13 reasons why I want to ask you out”, Creel explains. “You are not alone”.

In response to this national discussion, Netflix has chose to put warnings on each episode of the series.

Our school psychologist, school nurse and counselors are trained in suicide prevention and supports and, unlike some of the adults in 13 Reasons Why, take all reports seriously.

“Conveying hope with a loved one is your best defense against suicide”, the experts at the Ohio State University Suicide Prevention team wrote.

“We do quite a lot as a district to support students and families beyond just questions related to a show on a subscription-based outlet”, Baumstark said. It is a taboo subject when a young person takes their life.

Appearing at the WE Day event in Los Angeles, Selena Gomez opened up about the mixed responses being raked in by “13 Reasons Why”.
