My thoughts on 13 reasons why.
So here's the thing. Recently memes about this show have been going around and facebook is just freaking out about it. No one is allowed to not take this show seriously apearntly because when you don't you don't take depresion and suicide serious?
Is this a fucking joke?!
I've dealed with depresion from an early point of my life, I was diagnosed when I was around 7/8. I am doing amazing now but I've been suicidal for a few years and this show honestly just makes me angry for plenty of reasons.
Someone who is dealing with depresion wouldn't want anyone to go through the pain that they go through. I can't say that I liked Hannah Bakers character because she did npt embody depresion. Hannah did everything to get attention and be noticed, and yes this got her in some shitty situations, slut shaming is terible, no matter if you've actually slept with someone or not you should not be judged for it. I can see how all this could have hurt her but here is the tunring point. She blamed her friends for stopping to hang out with her, if she told them she needed them they would have been there for her, instead she killed herself and made tapes about how they were shitty friends which made one of the other characters actually attempt suicide. THIS IS FUCKED UP. People grow appart, to make someone feel like they've taken someones life is just unforgivable, and what was she trying to reach? Her friends probably already felt stupid for not noticing the signs.
Hannah saw someone getting raped and didn't tell anyone, not even the person in qeustion.
This girl could have been dealing with terible nightmares and thoughts about what happened but she would have thought it wasn't true because she was to drunk to remember, she deserved to know the truth so she could report the guy in qeustion (who ended up raping hannah as well, so she stabbed herself in the back here.)
She pushed away the people that cared about her. Yeah, I have to admit, I'm guilty to this myself, but I can't blame people for not being able to read my mind.
Hannah never reached out for help, in the end she claimed that she did but she didn't. She didn't want to own up to how she actually felt, and yes that's hard but this show is not about suicide awerness, it's just drama and entertainment. I hate it to see how media portairts mental illness.
Don't be a Hannah Baker, if you feel like you could be asaulted because of rumors TELL someone.
Also, I know non of you will ever blame your friends if you'd take your own life because no one wants someone else to feel the way they feel.
If you don't like this show it doesn't mean that you don't understand depresion, because this show isn't and acurate portrail and it honestly pains me to see that 90% of people appear to think that this is acceptable.
