Those therapists are kind of right in terms of the romanticizing suicide, but the suicide scene was so graphic that it horrified me and deterred me from any suicidal thoughts since hell, she looked like she was in so much pain.

The point people miss about this show, is not Hannah's death - it's Alex's suicide. Just as in life, if you spend all your time paying attention to the obvious, the loudest, the shiniest, you miss the signs that are right in front of you, anyone who was surprised by Alex's suicide, was not paying attention to very obvious signs. This is a lesson for life, you need to truly see the people around you, what they are telling you when you are too busy living.

coming from someone who has struggled with depression and suicide, this was a very accurate portrayal. everything Hannah felt, I felt once. I was fortunate to have someone stop me in time. and the ones who are saying that it romanticizes suicide or revenge, or blaming everyone else, or that she was dramatic, seeking attention, etc... they only say that because they don't understand. they've never been suicidal themselves and they may not realize that they are in the same mindset as the bullies. this is something that needs to be addressed. people need to understand, those who suffer with this are not stable. they are sick and need help and they do not see things as a stable, rational person would. And no, it doesn't show how to avoid suicide, that was not the point. the point was to accurately portray how someone struggling with depression thinks and feels. this was about how what everyone did affected her and worsened her sickness until she became suicidal. Your words and actions affect others more than you know, and we all need to realize this.

The suicide scene is SO necessary. The way Katherine Langford played that scene was absolutely stunning. You could see right through her, see the fear, and it showed how deeply hurt Hannah was at that point. The whole show shows us how easy it is to miss all the signs. The end scenes make it real and creates an impact on the audience, which really is what the whole show is about....

As somebody who has struggled with self harm and suicide (I’ve never seen the scene because I would probably have a panic attack), those kinds of things may help some people, or gain empathy from the general public, but they hurt most suicidal people. Artistically speaking it’s great, and it does show pain, but it doesn’t mean that will stop everybody from committing. Suicide is a final option, a moment of physical pain to relieve all of the mental pain. The scene does more bad than good in my opinion.

I'm sorry but to the girl who said the issues in this show were poorly portrayed and it was extremely brutal, do you not think the things that Hannah Baker has gone through are brutal? She was sexually assaulted on multiple occasions, bullied, abandoned -even when she cried out for help and then she ended her own life. Those things are brutal. That kind of mindset is what makes people think it glorifies suicide. The suicide scene is necessary, it is supposed to be brutal, because suicide is a brutal thing. Showing it any other way would have been romanticizingnit. I definitely agree that you need to be in the right mindset to watch this, but you also need to realize they made this show because the topics discussed are things that happen everyday and are things that are brutal and awful. Most TV shows probably would have left the suicide scene out or even showed it to be less graphic, and that's part of the problem.

This entire show in my opinion is a wake up call to everybody. From teachers to parents to popular people to depressed people. The show accurately represents how this stuff escalates and for the gory suicide scene, it serves as a reality check, to show you that taking your own life is serious and painful not only for you but for all those around you. Idk about y'all but it's heartbreaking to see Hannah's mom and dad walk into that bathroom seeing her lifeless body in the tub. I have personally had some depression throughout my life and I must say after watching this show and ESPECIALLY the suicide scene, never would I think of committing suicide.

[@alleycat307]

That suicide scene was absolutely necessary. People who don't understand what someone is going through need to see that they need to see the struggle someone goes through and the possible outcome of what their harsh words and actions can't effect someone. I've never been to that point but that last episode hurt me to the core I was a snotty mess

[@TheJesusismysuperher]

alleycat307 agreed. we can't sugar coat suicide, and them showing it was a step towards understanding suicide. yes it was graphic. yes it was gross. yes it was scary. but suicide is all that. we CANNOT hide suicide. we need to tackle it head on and stop people from killing themselves. and if that is through 13 reasons why as a first step. then I applaud.

[@elviral.bostrom3523]

But it's incredibly triggering for people with mental health issues - it can, in fact, lead to even more suicides. I agree that we need to make people understand how their words affect people, but not in a way that can lead to more people killing themselves. "Risk of additional suicides increases when the story explicitly describes the suicide method, uses dramatic/graphic headlines or images and repeated/extensive coverage sensationalizes or glamorizes a death." - American Foundation for Suicide Prevention

You see the world through a lense that's been narrowed and distorted. This show does have a purpose but the message of mental illness is not portrayed in a way that effectively explains what having depression is like. This show takes depression and demonizes it, making it a tool for revenge rather than an uncontroable disease that constantly eats away at your brain until you've reached the point of hopelessness. Depression effects people all in different ways but this show is not an accurate representation of how DEPRESSION brings teens to suicide. Yes it touches on serious issues that need to be addressed like sexual harrasment and bullying and yes it makes people more aware but someone with depression watching this show will be affected in a way that a mentally health person can almost never understand. On another note, even though these people in her life have effected her and sent her further into depression, this does not give her the right to blame her suicide on them. Blaming your depression or suicide on another human being is the cruelest thing you could ever do. Sufferers of depression should not be told or shown in anyway that "it's okay to blame what you're going through on someone else." Depression is a disease and yes none of them helped and yes they did things that pushed her closer to suicide but making tapes to blame and chastise them is curel. Giving the impression that this is the right way to handle this is wrong. No adult nor child should ever have to hold the guilt that they are the reason that someone lost their will to live. That is not how depression works. This television show as well as book had great intentions and, as always when you speak up about a controversial topic, will be critisized. I commend the author and all those involved in the show for standing up on such contreversial topics.

[@skylarcastillan8441]

This comment does not receive enough attention 😭 This is exactly why Thirteen Reasons Why is a terrible show for portraying depression.

[@alexisbeetz7119]

Ricardo, yes that CAN be the case but it is not always the case. When someone sees that they can menipulate another person with their mental illness by guilting them into doing thing because they were the cause of their suicidal thoughts, that has gone too far. I personally have experienced that on a high scale. My father committed suicide and my ex boyfriend attempted suicide and blamed me when I did nothing to hurt either of them. I too had a form of depression after the death of my father. I know what it feels like to be on both sides. It's not fair. No one deserves it. My point is, this show uses suicide as a menipulate tool which is not okay. I acknowledge your opinion and repectfully disagree.

Wow. You understand that they meant it wasn't a healthy way to look at suicide right? Physiologists, people with PhD's that know what they are talking about, are saying the same things. This romanticizes suicide, not only that suicide happens mostly for people with issues beyond their control high amount of cases being clinical depression and the like. Sarah had none of that, she was just a kid that made terrible choice after terrible choice then got her rocks off blaming everyone else's in some sort of revenge plot. If you think this is real you really need to do some research.

[@badw0lf]

The death scene wasn't supposed to be entertaining.. It's supposed to be very uncomfortable and intense and hard to watch because that's what it is. They wanted to accurately show what it's like so that it can continue in your mind as something very uncomfortable. I believe it achieved that and people are being dramatic. The show was portrayed pretty accurately to the book and this addition to it, really sealed the deal and hopefully people are more aware of this issue.

[@naomioberlander4520]

One of the therapeutic guidelines to dealing with suicide is to not reveal how the person committed suicide. This comes straight from psychologists. The show violates all 7 guidelines of dealing with suicide.

[@sabrinavirk702]

The shaved head asian looking guy is the most woke one. The show is disturbing and sad and put me in a weird funk the entire week I was watching, but u get over that feeling once its done and the lessons that stay with you are worth it. Also, I agree the suicide scene was disturbing but it had to be! Because the whole show did romanticize suicide and a lot of teens do too because they're dramatic that way. But seeing the actual act in all its gore needed to disturb teens enough that they wouldn't try it. That way they'll think twice when that moment comes of extreme emotion, drama, and romanticism of thinking yay finally when im gone ppl will realize how fucked up they were to me and how sad I was.

I was bullied and I tried to committee suicide as did my sister. This show is extremely moving to us both because it shows that power of what people go through. The suicide Scene was the most powerful because it actually showed everything that happens and it's purpose is to show a message and to tel people what bullying does. The show does not "romantic" suicide it shows that effects of bullying and that all these "Little things" add up to someone ending their life.

[@AnnaAnzi]

I personally don't feel like this show romanticises or glorifies suicide. Yes the scene was brutal and horrible to watch but that was the point. I've personally been struggling with anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts for a long time now, and that scene made me really shy away from suicide as being an option, and that also made me think that I didn't want to end up like that. And it's actually made me get the proper help I needed. Don't get me wrong I understand where the criticism is coming from, but it's important to show these things. And to the younger people watching it, the series is under "Adult" on Netflix so I also feel like it's the viewers responsibility. To the people reading this that may be depressed or suicidal, it's okay to not be okay, and you are NOT weak for getting help, and I believe in you! Stay strong!

I watched the series and a week later, I was admitted to a metal health treatment hospital. This opinion is coming from someone who was hospitalized because of depression and wanting to commit suicide. This series honestly might have saved my life. Seeing Hannah's suicide scene and the goriness of it scared me out of it. If the producers would have made it easy and painless with an overdose, I might have actually gone through with overdosing myself. That scene is necessary. It shows the realness of it. It shows how painful and traumatic it can be. I can see the psychologist's side of it as well, but personal, I believe the show can help someone contemplating suicide. It also made me realize the scary aftermath. If Hannah wouldn't have gone through with it, she could've been happy with Clay and could've seen that some people actually cared about her and would help her through anything. This show 100% helped me.

How could watching a girl who had been through unspeakable, horrific things slitting her own wrists in a bathtub with blood pouring out of her ever be romantic?

[@madalynrichards7656]

with all due respect towards your opinions and comment in mind, i think the 'romanticizing' critics talk about refers to the idea that some viewers are getting. this idea being that suicide will teach others a lesson, and therefore romanticizing the idea that killing yourself might teach a bunch of people a lesson, making it worth it. this, obviously, isn't the case, and that's why people think 13RW is romanticizing suicide and mental illness. at least, that's what i'm getting from all the buzz. i, personally, have not watched the show, so i don't have an opinion to offer. again, all due respect towards your opinions :)

I've seen comments on here from teens requesting a 13 reasons reaction from the parents. Well I'm a parent, and I was HORRIFIED but educated by the show. I truly had no clue what our youth goes through and the very real adult like issues you guys face. I felt terrible about the bullying, sexual assault, and maliciousness this young beautiful child went through. So I sat down with my 17 year old son and asked had he watched the show. He said No, although everyone at his school was talking about it. So I watched it with him again. It took 3 days, but he became so engrossed with the show, and we had discussions about each episode after watching it. I wanted to know how he felt in regards to objectifying women, was he being bullied, did he know of anyone who is at his school etc. And I found that watching the show with my kid, made him more comfortable discussing things that are going on right now in his life. I personally feel this show is necessary and I urge parents to take some time out of their schedules to watch this with your children. I do however recommend this show for high school aged children, because it's graphic, and very uncomfortable. However you'll be surprised the things you learn about them, and how much of a mental overload it truly is for our children dealing with the day to day "politics" and pressure to fit in, of their high school. I did think that some characters were one dimensional, but my son was pointing out friends and associates of his who he profiled in each character. Very interesting, and I can't recommend it enough. It gets the conversation going with your children on topics and just what's TRULY going on in their lives, that's hard to have. Because you don't want to think that this is really how it is. But sadly it is....

It even shows the damage you can cause to your family by doing it.

I think its for both the bullies ánd the suicidal, but not to forget also for the parents.

I think the suicide scene was really an eye opener for me. It gave me a realization of what people actually go through when they are attempting suicide with the person committing it and the people who find them, especially her parent. The part that really made me cry the most was the part where her mom found her. I can't even imagine my own mother having to do that. It made me realize unlike some other show like Law and Order SVU where you see the aftermath, not the whole gruesome part of it and the pain and agony the person is actually going through. I don't think they romanticize the show at all but really show what happens in day to day life.

I dont think this show romanticized suicide at all. Nothing about this show made it seem appealing. It was all so lonely, and it showed the effects it had on others like your parents. I also think the suicide scene was very important. Not a tutorial, but more like, suicide isnt pretty. It will never be pretty. This is how some people choose to go out, and its not good. It hurts and theres no going back once its done. Its gruesome. The fact that it is so graphic is important. People need to feel the disgust or the sickness from watching it. People need to understand that its not a good way to go. The show definitely doesnt really show how much someone could find help, but at the same time, that makes it more realistic because teenagers have such a hard time asking for help with anything. They dont want to be bullied more or told that theyre being dramatic, which hannah talks about in the tapes. Because they dont want to talk about it, they subtly look for help, but they cant seem to get it because they arent saying it flat out. I cann see why this show is very controversial, but i really think it is important for people to watch this and look at a new view. So many people dont understand that these things are happening every day and we just dont see it.

I wasnt saying that this was a great show for people with depression, i forgot to mention that. I think this is a great show for other people who dont get talked to about this stuff to realize that they may not know what they are saying could hurt people or that what they do could have a bigger impact than they meant it too. I think this show blows into a bigger per-portion to those who think suicide and depression is a joke. Like i said i get why this show is controversial. it could have a bad effect on those with depression. I just forgot to mention that in my comment.
