Part 1
The year is 2017. So many changes are being made and it’s been a whirlwind. One of the bigger trends happening is that of the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. If you haven’t heard of it; it’s about a highschool girl who commits suicide. Before she does so she creates cassette tapes and leaves them for those who did her wrong to listen to. The are 13 reasons as to why Hannah killed herself.
The first episode I was really into it. I thought the basis of the characters and the storyline was going in a good direction. As I got further along in the series I have picked on things the producers missed. They didn’t make Hannah’s character behave as to what a person going through those situations act. They made her irrational and place the blame on everyone else; almost like she was completely innocent in everything. That she didn’t feel the same as someone going through those things would.
You may ask yourself, how would I be one to know this. I may not know everything, and everyone handles situations differently. But in my life I am able to relate to 7 of Hannah’s 13 Reasons. I went looking for help for many years and it was an ongoing battle that lasted 8 years of my life. Some days were better than others; while at times I didn’t think I was ever going to survive the next day. Where I was then to where I am now is leaps and bounds. There were days when I felt alone and like I was drowning with the ropes all around me. But what I can say is; like Hannah; I killed myself. After years of hurt, loneliness, and depression; I killed the person I was and became the person I am today. You’re probably wondering what a person has to go through to want to kill themself and completely change who they are and leave everything they have ever known. Like I said, it took years for me to get the courage and do something about. My story starts in 2nd grade.
