13 reasons why was a recent trending thing. You could see it taking over the internet like a plague.
Its a Netflix original series, touching the most sensitive and delicate issues of today's world -- Bullying and Suicide.
Its a 13 episode series. A story of a teenager dead girl, a girl who committed suicide and was now telling her story. More specifically, justifying her action giving us 13 reasons.
Each episode is considered a tape. The Dead Girl (Hannah) before committing suicide, recorded all the reasons on tapes. Each tape introduces to a character(person), in Hannah's life, their relationship with her and most importantly what wrong they did to her directly or indirectly.
The reasons were:
Rumors about her, friends ignoring her, being objectified, Guys thinking she's easy, girls defaming her, a crush too afraid to admit, being groped, family issues, and being raped.
Most of the issues are what everybody experiences in their life. Specially when you are in your teens you experiences most of these things. I mean name a person whose we haven't heard a rumor about?
Or for instance is there any person who hasn't heard rumors about themselves. In today's world people are so selfish and ruthless that they don't even take seconds to tarnish somebody's image for their benefit. We all have been there and dealt with shit. Its just that some people are strong enough not to take the load of such negativity or they vent out talking to somebody.
This was not the case with Hannah. She had issues making friends, and almost had no friends. Being new to a school and having her rumors reaching the school before her, she got a reputation built. A reputation such that everything was influenced by it. Tiny little things kept piling inside her, having no one to talk to, finally turning into a mountain of depression.
And when she wanted to give her life another chance and look for help, things got worse. She had a terrible day. She lost the money her broke family saved to pay the mortgage, letting down her family. And later being raped.
The time when she needed somebody's help, she had nobody to her rescue. With the constant feeling of being unwanted and troublemaker the only feeling she had left was to vanish. She found dying easier than fighting back.

P.S. : Suicide is not an easy thing. How can somebody hurt themselves. In this world full of ruthlessness, nobody loves anybody more than themselves. Even a tiny cut while chopping gives us a shiver, then how can anybody slit their wrist? Suicidal is an advanced stage of depressed.
Most of the people around are depressed. Just look around. Be little humble, make friends, talk to them and help them recover. Don't let anybody else be Hannah.
