[@ScythGrizz]

It shouldn’t have even progressed to AIDS that quickly. It takes up to 10 years for HIV to become AIDS. Since Justin was homeless during what I believe was their Junior Year, there is no possible way it progressed that quickly.

Most of them are probably having a class only for the sounds of gunshots to be heard. The newer kids ask what's going on and the teachers and older students probably say "Oh just another school shooting. We get a lot of them at Liberty High. Just ignore it."

[@seanpariser7300]

Can we talk more about my most hated part of this season, CLAY? Specifically, the fact that he never has to take responsibility for his actions... 1. Crashes Zack's car and leaves him for dead. Zack gets kind of mad at him part of the next episode and that ends quickly. 2. Takes a cop''s gun and waves it around at a school full of students and faculty. Gets tackled by cops and checked into a mental facility but does not get arrested or charged. 3. Breaks out of a psych ward. He gets to go home. 4. Walks into a police station and screams he has a gun in front of multiple officers. A cop hugs him and sends him home. 5. This is all beyond the main portion of the season which is covering up the murder of Brice. Is this kid legally immortal???

[@agtl3168]

Doesn't take responsibility? he's too busy taking responsibility for everyone else lmao. Lets not forget he spent a whole season being suspected for murder AND arrested which contributed to his mental breakdown in season 4 because his "friends" decided to beat up and kill Bryce.

[@seanpariser7300]

@@agtl3168 Let's back it up and ask the question of why Clay was being suspected in the first place? It's because he continuously made himself look guilty. Every character in the show had issues with Brice even before the rape situation but while they all were frustrated by this student that got away with so much because he came from a rich family and starting quarterback, none of them went to the guy's house threatening to kill him (which was caught on camera) or screaming threats to the guy in the halls of the school full of students. That was all Clay. His friends were pretty much suspects because they associated with Clay. The final season broadens his issues dramatically but he was by no means perfect before. Even this guy points out that walking in front of Tyler holding a gun was a dumb idea, and not reporting the situation was even worse (that second part you can also contribute to the rest of the cast). Bottom line, he does so much crap throughout the show, but this last season pretty much took his one or two illegal activities a season and cranked it up with not a single repercussion.

[@agtl3168]

@@seanpariser7300 Yes they did. Justin threatened to kill Bryce multiple times, other kids did, even the mother did. And yes, walking infront of the gun WAS a dumb idea. However, you're missing context. Had it been anyone else Clay would have never done that, but it was Tyler. And Clay knew deep down that Tyler didn't really want to go through with that. You wanted Clay to report the situation and have Tyler possibly kill multiple people before the cops show up, or have no one die? The idea might have been stupid, but that doesn't matter because the end result was perfect. No one died. Clay did some stupid things, suffering with his mental health, but idunno why people point that out, when Zach and Alex literally got away with beating and killing Bryce. Hell, Bryce literally got away with rape LOL

[@seanpariser7300]

@@agtl3168 I'm gonna have to disagree. Yes, it is true that more than just Clay threatened Brice, but Clay broadcasted his hatred of Brice to the world and on multiple occasions. Merely threatening Brice was only a single example of how much the writers allowed Clay to get away with. As far as "Clay knowing deep down that Tyler didn't want to go through with that", that idea is more of an assumption. I would like to think that any kid who brings weapons to their school do not want to go through with the action, but that is sometimes true and sometimes wishful thinking. Think of the torture Tyler went through with Monte. I would never condone shooting up a school but from what the audience knows, we can slightly understand where his actions are coming from. Back to Clay, he is reckless beyond comparison to the others. Most of his problems would go away if he simply told his very successful parents. He probably has the most stable family (mentally and financially) out of all the characters. His Dad is a dam psychologist for crying out loud, and his Mom is a lawyer. Even Justin, the guy who lets men have their way with him to score drugs can see that. They come into his life and he is going to rehab and caring about his grades. As far as the others go, I just think the writers were having too much fun adding in random crap like Zack and Alex destroying a principle's office or even Zack's alcoholism (which slightly makes sense until we remember this guy is supposed to be a 17-year-old kid). All-in-all, Clay is the only character that actively makes trouble for himself and others and as I said before, never has to take responsibility for his actions.

Clay literally had a personality disorder and extremely detailed hallucinations, to the point that he could even communicate with his hallucinations (possibly some form of schizophrenia). He was also clearly mentally unstable to a degree that he's a danger to others, considering he set up explosions without even being aware of his actions. These kinds of issues need extensive medication, and possibly the care of a closed psychiatric facility. This isn't the kind of thing that can be resolved by saying goodbye to Hannah and getting a new girlfriend.

[@graham121]

I agree. In the first season I was pretty sure that they were all juniors and the show made it seem that way, but somehow they were only freshman? I think they had to do that to keep the show going and so they could make a season for each year of their high school class but still it was a major plot hole, but can't really blame them because they probably did not plan on making 3 more seasons before the first season came out.

[@WhitneyDahlin]

@@graham121 that's probably true I bet they didn't know they were going to get more seasons but like I said they could have gotten creative and had Clay transfer schools because of all the drama that happened or just start over with whole new characters. That's what I would have done. The story from that school was already told and wrapped up. There are just so many other more interesting characters and stories they could have told if they ditched the characters from the first season. Or if they'd still focused on that school but a different grade and different students than they did. I was so looking forward to the second season I thought for sure it was going to go in a school sh00ter direction. I think this show in particular makes me so angry because I can see the potential it had. It was a show that wasnt afraid to show a suicide or talk about it. They could have even based the second season off a different young adult book like Speak or Insatiable. I feel like that would have been a really cool direction to take it in. Insatiable is an amazing book but no one ever talks about it. It follows four different highschool girls living four different lives with four different types of eating disorders and they all go to the same school but most of them don't know each other. It would have been so interesting and cool to do that.

[@graham121]

@@WhitneyDahlin I completely agree. I think the reason why the first 2 seasons where amazing and it was a downward spiral after that was just because it got too unrealistic and the story had already been told. The first 2 seasons focused on actual issues that many high schoolers experience but once it got to the point of murdering a rapist then blaming the murder on another rapist and all the other crazy stuff that happened in the later seasons it just was way more unrealistic. The shows original purpose was to show the real serious problems that high schoolers face, but elaborately covering up a murder, multiple people having full on visual hallucinations, and all the other wild stuff that happened just made the show worse in my opinion. I think they should've gone a different direction with the storyline after it was pretty much wrapped up at the end of season 2. I like your idea of focusing on a different grade or students we never knew at Liberty, that would've been cool. I think it would've been really interesting if they focused on the adults in the show while they were in high school and what they had to deal with growing up. Maybe they could've focused on Mr. and Mrs. Jensen, Mrs. Baker, Tony's parents, and Mr. Walker. or if they did this as a spin off show after all 4 seasons they could've also shown Ani's mom, Clay's therapist, Sheriff Diaz, etc. Overall I think it would be cool to see this idea for a show, showing real high school struggles, in a different way instead of continuing to have to make the storyline crazier and crazier to the point where it's unbelievable just to add more seasons. Honestly the best direction they could've taken after season 2 would've been to just start over with a whole new plot with new characters, a new location, and tackling different issues. I think it was just lazy writing to just create content in the last 2 seasons in my opinion. Sorry if this is too much to read haha I just enjoy writing about it because I loved the show and don't have anyone to talk to about it.

The end got me thinking, there's no way the students in these dramatized highschools would be able to maintain good grades with all the pressure their always in, especially not the main cast. I can say from experience that for the average person: maintaining excellent scholarly pursuits while under the pressure of serious negative feelings like guilt, depression, or abandonment is nearly impossible. At least half of the main cast wouldn't have gotten into their dream university if this was real life (although I suppose if was *really* realistic then the FBI would've shown up by season three and arrested everyone).

[@iluVioletLink]

I respected the novel. So much. The writing was... pretty good for 15 year old me. I mean, it fit the demographic. I like how the story ended too, it's Clay telling Skye not to take her life after noticing her mannerisms after listening to the tapes. It felt simple and open ended. How did it become .... like this? It didn't need to be milked to so many seasons.

To summarise why this show is actually horrible: 1. Characters don’t have personalities, they are defined by their mental illness ( which is very contradicting because the show wanted the moral to be that people aren’t defined by their mental illness) 2. It’s basically a checklist, trying to fit in every single issue in one show. 3. The story isn’t progressive (since season 1 at least) none of the characters grow and learn. 4. It has no real message, basically what they’re saying is: there is bad stuff in the world, it sucks. And that’s just a few of the reasons, despite this I did actually enjoy season 1 of this show, but every other season is dragging the show on for too long to try and make more money off of it. It should’ve ended at season 1 in my opinion, but even that season certainly had its faults. Edit: Dear everyone replying basically saying: no, you can’t think that! You have to think what I think!

Yes we have drills, but they should never be that intense. Having a man walk around with a gun shooting blanks, while teachers and students don’t know it’s a drill is damaging. When I had a school shooting drill for the first time, we were told the day of so they could run down the drill procedure before it actually started. Then after that whenever there was another one, we were told while in the class it was supposed to be in by the teacher. And my principal walked the hall with the officer assigned to our school, so if there were kids in the hall instead of in class they would know it’s a drill. Now fire drills... those were always random and even my teachers would get annoyed.

Here's a hot take: You know how every episode this season starts with one of them giving a eulogy at the funeral of a character that is revealed to be Justin? As far I'm concerned, it should've been Clay. Why? First off, I'm fucking tired of doing whatever he fucking wants without consequences. Secondly, Justin's death happened so that they could have a dramatic, emotional finale, let's be honest with ourselves. Finally, and here's my real point, it feels like it'd be a natural conclusion for Clay. Think about it: starting from Hannah Baker's suicide, here's been on an absolute downward spiral, and the fact that he himself had unchecked mental issues didn't help his case. I could go on, but I just feel it'd be more.... organic, and less of a slap to the face if the funeral was for someone who died as a direct result of the events of the season.

There a show called Sex Education which also tackles serious subject matter but the writers there seem to like.....understand human teenagers and the subjects they are discussing.

[@aegonthedragon7303]

Wasn’t this show once about figuring put who/what caused a girl to kill herself?

[@igoryst3049]

Well yes

[@FortoFight]

The writer of the book clearly envisioned Cyborg Bryce as they wrote it.

[@nostalgicuniverse9747]

That’s what they wanted you to think

[@Fletchayabetcha]

Well it was once a book meant for young adults about different topics like suislide, gayness, sexual assault etc.

[@Kmkmkms]

It doesn’t work to stretch out the plot of a show that’s focused entirely on one plot because it ends up feeling like a completely different show

[@RumbleDelta]

Bojack Horseman had a more powerful anti-suicide message shown in three minutes than this show did in 4 damned seasons.

[@Samcole0408]

You can say that again

[@Jester4460]

Lol

[@niksterkai4303]

The View from halfway down poem is all you need to realise that suicide is not the way. It's all you need.

[@angela.luntian]

@@niksterkai4303 that poem was so memorable. The ones that succeeded but regretted it halfway in, you'll never hear.

[@KaneK1234]

I would disagree. I don’t think putting immense fear of death into the viewer is a virtuous way of stopping anyone from committing suicide.

[@ultimatewolfexists2378]

We do have school lockdown drills in school. But it’s absolutely not as dramatized as the show depicts, all we do is huddle in the dark for 5 minutes.

CRAWLING IN MY SKIN

[@ewptyewpewp]

Realism in teen TV

[@filmedbyfi]

There was a a group that presented their program for su*cide prevention that came to my school. They kept talking abt how every teen needs to watch 13 Reasons Why. This made me FURIOUS. 13RW glorifies su*cide, making it seem like the best way out of all situations. The show is absolutely absurd, it’s not realistic nor helpful. I cannot believe that grown adults, could be so ignorant, telling vulnerable teens to listen to the message of 13RW, a show that promotes su*cide, m*rder, and r*pe rather than preventing it. Also, why the hell did no one do anything abt clays mental health problems? His parents knew abt his nightmares, and his friends can’t be that oblivious right? You can tell through his actions and words that he needs some serious psychological help, not just some therapy. He needs a mental hospital.

[@thingsicantfind9545]

Such an awkward and clumsy attempt of portraying mental health, it's so implausible that it makes the issue almost laughable...oh and it suddenly becomes a horror movie halfway through too

[@theitfactorjameswheezer2852]

The whole show was about Hannah Baker. How’d it go into a murder mystery fight club rip-off after that

[@KaneK1234]

Carl Wheezer You mean like Mr Robot did? Yet I bet everyone here likes that show.

Tyler the guy who instead of just wanting to shoot Monty and his friends, the guys who sodomised him with a mop wanted to shoot up the whole school saying that is hypocritical. He deserved to have his life ruined.

[@prnst4r]

Tyler should've gone full Columbine 2.0 with Cyrus.

[@abcde_ghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz2188]

not just could've, he would've shot up the school if clay hadn't shopped him.

[@dumpster_mcgee_96]

The lockdown episode was oddly accurate, by this show's standards. I was in high school a few years back and some kid brought in their ROTC wooden rifle (ROTC is military prep), and we all had to stay in our classes for several hours because they thought someone had a gun. That episode, while still pretty bad, kinda got it right (except Clay would NOT be allowed to be in a room on his own)

[@ratinacage9306]

I love the black kid's reaction to the natsoc character. He sees the tattoos and he goes straight to "He's gonna murser you bro." And it's treated completely seriously, like it's not a bit of a leap to assume that the guy's going to murder Tom bases on his tattoos. So fucking funny.

[@Yoyoitsyoji]

I feel I should say, as someone who’s actually been in a lockdown scenario where everyone thought there was a shooter on campus, and that we were in danger- people weren’t all shaking and crying and having emotional breakthroughs with ghosts. A few people cried, but everyone else was deadly quiet. Wanna know why? Because when something like that happens, there’s nothing you really can say, except to be quiet and hope for the best. Basically, show dumb, writing dumber

[@dezx3531]

Somebody wants to kill me! Better scream my personal information!

[@ploopykitty5815]

Omg when we had a false scare at my school (not a drill. Someone let a stranger on campus) every one was devising ways to attack the shooter and one kid had stapler. No one was crying or taking it seriously at all. Good thing it was false alarm or we all would have one Darwin's award.

[@Yoyoitsyoji]

Ploopy Cat Same sorta thing happened to me, a stranger brought a (super realistic) air soft gun onto my campus and it took like, over an hour to figure it out. I realize know that we were so ill prepared that had it been real, we would’ve TOTALLY DIED. Also I remember that I stayed up late the night before doing my math homework, and all I could think was “I’m not gonna let that homework go to waste, if he comes in I’ll stab him.” I’d also win a Darwin Award

[@Electroshockist]

That has to be the most counter productive lockdown drill of all time. "Let's train our students to panic and have mental breakdowns when we have lockdowns. That should keep them nice and safe."

[@jackswan3420]

A sick head canon of mine thinks the Teachers probably put cameras and watched the students' chaos like it's a film

[@thedeadmeme7877]

Ive been through regular drills and a scenario where a false alert was called. During the drill, everybody in class was making jokes and taking it very casually. During the false alert, police came by with their guns drawn and we were legit scared for their lives but still quietly joked with eachother about our last words and dying wishes as a way to cope. People recorded videos of themselves and texted their friends and families. No one made phone calls crying for help and no one started panicking or screaming. We all just hid and kept quiet. This show is fucking insane.

[@jackswan3420]

NGL that sounds kinda fun

[@gracekim25]

The Dead Meme yeah um crying and calling for help would alert the shooter😶

[@johnmegatroj9795]

Gracekim21 nah there’s gonna be that one person who screams and stuff letting the shooter know , fight or flight I guess but instead just yelling

[@canvas_125]

[@Mausso]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that any school that uses blanks in the middle of a lockdown drill would be sued out of existence. In my experience, the teachers were always aware of the lockdown drills and would actually tell the students because it would inevitably interrupt their lesson plans and they wanted students to focus before the drill began so that they wouldn't fall behind in the curriculum. The result is that students wouldn't really take it seriously either. Again, this was from my own personal experience. Other schools may have tried to be a little more secretive about it being a drill, but honestly I don't know if many would want to deal with the possible lawsuits that would come from traumatizing a child into believing that their life is in danger for the sake of a drill. My point is that 13 Reasons Why was so unbelievably off the mark with their "creative liberties" that the reveal that it was all a drill made it comical. It would have been less offensive if it was all a dream, that's how bad it was.

[@ashadeofstupid1329]

After season 1 this show was completely pointless.

[@moipaslui2924]

I never understood why anybody thought it was a good idea to do more seasons (although I know the 1 reason why is £¥$€). You can argue about how good or bad the first one is (although I quite liked it) but at least it had a purpose, a plot and a logical end. It's literally implied with the damn title that this show has only one season.

[@SympleSymon]

This entire show should've just never happened, stayed as a book where it could've done less damage.

[@cheeseisherelive753]

Is your pfp a foot?

[@abeldnite]

Season 1 was stupid if taken seriously but It had a consistent plot and was entertaining overall. The other seasons were a cluster fuck. Well, at least season 4 was hilarious if you take it as an overly produced shitpost

[@Lauren_210]

At most, the show should have ended after season 2. At least season 2 does connect back to the first season with the court case and testimonies being revolved around Hannah Baker's suicide, which was the main plot of the book/first season with finding out the reasons as to why she took her life. I don't understand why seasons 3 and 4 are there because they literally do not connect with Hannah's story at all.
