Trigger warning: this post talks about suicide. Please turn around if you are a pussy that cant face reality!

13 Reason Why is a hit show that Netflix released some time over a year ago. It has its second season out, and I see trigger/Suicide warnings from the start of the show and at the end of the end of every episode. The headlines were stating that this show is glorifying suicide. You must understand the premise of the show in order to full understand.

The series revolves around a high school student, Clay Jensen, and his friend Hannah Baker, a girl who takes her own life after suffering a series of demoralizing circumstances brought on by select individuals at her school. A box of cassette tapes recorded by Hannah before her suicide details thirteen reasons why she ended her life.

Furthermore, I would like express that I personally have been affected by suicide in my family. When I was 17 years old I was playing a show at a popular venue near my house. My mother showed up to the show crying her eyes out saying "We need to go back to Corpus Christi right now!." Corpus is my hometown where all of my family lives and I knew it was an emergency. My uncle Scott. My favorite Uncle. The only one who never was an asshole to me. Genuine man that I loved very much had shot himself in the head. He had died in his apartment. Alone. Years later I played in a band called "A Midnight in Chicago". The entire reason I was asked to play in the band was because I was friends with the previous bass player, Mike, Who had recently taken his own life in a similar scenario to my uncle.

My experience with suicide has given me a deep insight to what it does to friends and family. Some would say I have seen what happens to a family when someone takes their life. I have seen it on a personal level. The impact that it creates in a society. It definitely tore our family apart. We had a hole in our hearts that was not going to be filled. Now moving on to the show 13 Reasons Why... The show in no way promotes suicide. I think it does quite a good portrayal of how it impacted the main characters family and friends. It certainly has its teeny bop moments, but overall it what gloom and depressing in nature. It had drama and people like drama, but the suicide aspect was in no way glorified in my eyes. Watch for yourself. TRIGGER WARNING, this shows a girl killing herself. It is awful to watch... and after you are done watching please let me know in the comments how this looks glorious:
