"13 Reasons Why" you should monitor your netflix account in the upcoming weeks...
Last week, social media sites were buzzing with the news of the sequel to 13 Reasons Why. This sequel is due out this Friday, May 18th and you will see cautionary tales from counselors and alike. Given the disturbing topics addressed in season 1, the series was reviewed for young adults 16+ in age.
“Parents need to know that 13 Reasons Why is an intense, dark Netflix drama based on the popular young adult novel Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher and is definitely not a light watch or for younger kids. The disturbing story explores a troubled teen's motivations for committing suicide, opening after the fatal event, with all appearances by deceased Hannah in the reflections of a boy who harbored a secret crush on her. Messages about treating people with respect and not taking others for granted are prominent, but the fact that Hannah blames others for her suicide is problematic and may send the wrong messages to some sensitive teens. The series doesn't shy away from mature issues, as Hannah's suicide is shown in great detail, as is more than one graphic rape scene involving a teenager. There's teen drinking, voyeurism (a boy circulates a picture of a girl in a compromising position after a sexual encounter), and lots of swearing ("f--k," "s--t," and "a--holes"). While this challenging story could help parents start conversations with teens about issues like bullying, isolation, and depression, the way the series addresses these issues is complex and may be confusing for impressionable viewers.” https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/13-reasons-why#
Last year, I learned that this series was a topic of discussion amongst some of our students with several in 4th through 8th graders that viewed. We hope that by sharing this recent "buzz" that you have an opportunity to review first. On the commonsensemedia.org review page of the movie, there is a link further down the page highlighting what families can talk about in the event that it comes up in your household discussion.
Thankfully, our children at St. Viator are sheltered in a safe learning environment wherein the Gospel message of Jesus Christ is lived, learned, and shared. HE is an excellent model of how we love and treat one another each day.
Blessings,
Mrs. Tracy Brunelle, Principal
