'13 Reasons' Why and its Importance

By now, everyone has probably heard of the book turned Netflix series "13 Reasons Why". Clay Jenson receives 7 cassette tapes that explains 13 reasons why, the 13 people, that made his crush, the girl he loves, Hannah Baker commit suicide. 

Hannah has gone through the unthinkable, thanks to her peers, things that no person should ever have to go through.

On television it doesn't really show the aftermath of tragic events that women have gone through like her, but you see how it breaks down a once happy, and outgoing girl, to someone who is broken, depressed, thinking her only choice was to end it all.

It is shown right on the screen, Hannah during her final moments alive and beginning moments in death. It's heartbreaking to see, but it shows what words and actions can do to someone.

You see how her peers, the people who tore her down, mourn and be affected by this event in more ways to one.

If only they were nicer to her, treated her like the ways she deserved to be treated, with respect she would still be alive.

Hopefully this series opens people's eyes on what words and actions to someone can do. It can cost them their life.
