So I read 13 reasons why almost four years ago now, and I remember the exact moment I found it on the bottom shelf of my school library. I had honestly never heard of it, but the blurb pulled me in. 
 I sat down and I remember reading it all night and I was tired but it was too intense for me to peel my eyes away. I ended up finishing the rest of it the next night, and I remember crying through 80% of the book because it felt so real. Everythign was explained to such a level of understanding, and I can't explain how connected I felt to both Clay and Hannah through the story. It was like we were living through Clays eyes, but somehow the tapes gave us the view through Hannahs eyes as well. 
 You can imagine how excited I was to find out years later that a Netflix series was being made. I've only watched the first four episodes so far because they go for 50 minutes each and I'm at my last year of school and I absoloutely have no time to sit there and watch the whole season through and through. I'll get there one day. But there's one thing I've found about the tv series. People have said it is INTENSE. I've heard about some of the things in later episodes and I realise that a lot of people aren't going to like it. Some people have mentioned that it's problematic as well. Which is fine, that's their opinion, but in my opinion, people are just too scared to see the true side of things. Suicide happens. It is a very real thing. 1 person commits suicide every 40 seconds around the world. That's 3000 a day. That's 1 million a year... 
 I think being able to see how huge suicide is and how people come to this point in their life, where they feel so lost and gone that that's their only option, is important. We can't sit there and pretend the world is all perfect because it's not. This happens! We can't hide away from the truth. We cant be ignoring the problems. We shouldn't be complaining when the word suicide is mentioned. It's real guys. It hurts ALOT of people. I think it's time people start to realise that. 
 Anyway, no bad vibes here guys, I'm just saying. If you have your own opinion comment below, I want to hear it :)
