Netflix has become amassed in a pit of controversy and ecstasy over their newest show- 13 Reasons Why.
The story, originally a book written by Jay Asher explores the psychological dilemma of when to speak up when someone's life is on the line.
Netflix, however, threw all of that out of the window and did the EXACT opposite: they encouraged people to remain silent. Something that is a huge no-no for suicide prevention.
And according to ABC news, that is exactly what schools are warning parents about. The show has been a cautionary tale, as episodes include suicide plots, shut lips over abuse and bullying, and how to enact slitting one's wrist in order to die.
Because that's what suicidal and depressed teenagers need to see- how to die and succeed.
