13 Reasons Why Should'nt Have Opened Your Eyes

The popular netflix series 13 Reasons Why have had a lot of people talking wheter it's about how much they love it or how it opened their eyes on School bullying and suicide. Well this a letter to the people who watched the show and were bullies and mean to others and then suddenly cared more about suicide awareness. First off why did it take a depressing show to open your eyes on how bullying is a real issue in schools? Why did it open your eyes to say wow it's not okay to call that girl a whore, or it's not okay to make fun of the kid who doesn't have the nicest things, it's not okay to make fun of the person with a disability. I just don't get why it took a show for you to realize that bullying is a serious issue and when someone says they are suicidal it's not a joke. You always need to take that seriously, and you always need to look for signs so that maybe you can prevent them from committing suicide. Watching 13 Reasons Why and suddenly realizing what a serious problem school bullying is isn't an apology to the people you hurt in the past, and even if you did apologize that wouldn't remove the pain and bad memories from that person. Suicide is not a joke and bullying isn't a laughing matter.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
