The Netflix teen drama, “13 Reasons Why,” which deals with a young woman’s suicide after being bullied, attacked, and sexually assaulted by fellow classmates, may have led to a rise in teen suicides, according to a new study from Nationwide Children’s Hospital and the National Institutes of Health.
When the series debuted on Netflix in March of 2017, many parents complained that the story glorified the main character, Hannah Baker’s, decision to commit suicide. The show, based on a novel of the same name, demonstrated that Baker, who recorded her “thirteen reasons why” on a series of casette tapes left on the doorstep of a friend, got both revenge and justice on those who wronged her by ending her life.
