13 Reasons Why
I would like to inform you about the Netflix series titled, 13 Reasons Why, and its possible impact on our students. 13 Reasons Why Season 1 came out on Netflix in March 2017. Season 2 is set to release on Friday, May 18th.
The show is based on a novel and the story of 17-year-old girl who takes her own life. The topics covered in this book and series include: sexual assault, abuse, revenge, depression, suicide, and school violence.
Although we do not know the details of Season 2, we anticipate that the content may be disturbing to some students, especially those with mental health issues. If you do allow your child to watch this series, we recommend you watch it with them and discuss it afterwards. If your child has warning signs of depression or suicide, please reach out to your school counselor, physician, or mental health provider. There are additional resources below if you would like to learn more about the show.
