IMPORTANT MESSAGE: 13 Reasons Why
Published on May 22, 2018 21:04
As you may be aware, Netflix has recently released Season Two of 13 Reasons Why, a series depicting the story of a high school student who dies by suicide, leaving behind 13 cassette recordings that share the events that she perceives led to her death.
The series is graphic and sensationalizes the act of suicide, which may be triggering for vulnerable students. Series like this one can lead to misconceptions and misinformation about suicide, and possibly to the glorification of suicide and suicide contagion.
For these reasons, we have many concerns about this series which we feel we need to bring to your attention. Please read the attached message from our Director of Education, Brian Beal.
