Summary:
The Netflix series 13 Reasons Why has caused a furor. In the show, a high school student who has died by suicide has left 13 tapes, one for each person she believes has contributed in some way to her eventual decision. Each episode relates to an individual tape. The penultimate episode depicts the suicide in a gruesome manner. Some say the series is an accurate and sensitive portrayal of the inner angst of an individual that will help enlighten us as to the motivations behind suicidal behavior and suicide itself. Such an openness can only be good and may be helpful to others in similar predicaments. Critics, though, have worried that it may glamorize suicide or normalize it as a legitimate option when dealing with interpersonal predicamentsleading to more suicides.
"13 Reasons Why and Suicide Contagion" is from scientificamerican.com, published on May 8, 2017.
