There is a movement “blaming” a certain Netflix show (13 Reasons Why) for an “increase” in teen suicides. Funny that these people are referencing a recent study that did NOT included ANY data regarding if these teens watched the show or not.
I have seen much of the first season. Yes, it is very disturbing. NO, it is NOT “glorifying” suicide, nor does it give any emphasis nor encouragement for suicide.
In actuality, the show brings to light the VERY REAL issues teens face today. The show does not hold back. It is very “in your face” about the reality. The point is shine a very BRIGHT light on a dark issue that has been LONG ignored!
Now … let us ponder something … Does social media have ANY impact on teen suicide? Certainly there would be nothing on social media that would encourage teens to do stupid, life ending stunts .. ie eating chemicals, or jumping out of moving cars, or chocking yourself to ALMOST death for some “euphoric” rush …

.. end transmission ..
