So by now, most people have finished 13 Reasons Why. If you haven't here is a quick synopsis.

"Hannah Baker, a teenage girl, records 13 tapes. Each tape is dedicated to a different person, each of which drove her to the end. Each person played a different role, whether it be small or large, each person played a part."

The Netflix community has since been divided into loving it, hating it, or never watching it because of what it's about.

The people who hate it or won't watch it feel this way because they feel as though the show is glorifying suicide and making it into the next big Hollywood plot.

"This show is the worst thing that could have happened. When people commit suicide, they don't leave a reason half the time. Their families don't get a reason why; they are left wondering every single day...why? What could they have done differently? Could they have changed the course if they knew? Most of the time the answer is no. As a society, we don't take these things seriously. Mental health is something we don't pay attention to, and we need to."

In recent years suicide rates have gone up, there is no denying that. Yes, the United States hasn't paid attention like they should to things as serious as mental health. Mental health is a big issue and it plays a big role into everything else that goes on in life, and that's why 13 Reasons Why is something we all needed.

1. So in real life, we may not get a note, we may never know what drove a person to do what they did, but from this, we can learn.

We can watch this and learn what drove one girl to do such a tragic thing. We can learn from what happened. We can realize that the way we treat people needs to change. That everything we do plays a part in everybody's life. I know I'm guilty of being a part of the rumor mill, and you probably have been too without even knowing it. It's so easy to get wrapped up in the things that everybody else is doing, that we don't pay attention to the harm we could be causing to others.

2. It may be the new Hollywood plot, but it has opened so many eyes to what really goes on.

It shows you that things like this do happen to regular teens. It happens to people with a good home life and to people with parents who love them unconditionally. When people commit suicide, it isn't because they wanted attention or needed it for that matter, for them, it was the only way out. Nothing they did seemed to work. Everywhere they turned, another door was closed in their face. Everybody they turned to, walked away. They were alone and nothing was going right and they couldn't control it, but them ending everything, that was the last bit of control they had. They could control the last and final aspect of their lives and when you couldn't control anything else, it seems like the only thing that is left.

3. It's real, never once did the show sugar coat anything that went on in the show.

It showed the sexual assault, it showed the suicide, but most of all, it showed all of the raw emotions. It showed what Hannah felt, how Clay was dealing with it and how he felt about his friend being gone, it showed how the rest of the teens involved dealt with it. This show opened so many doors for it to be something that we can talk about. For so long talking about this has been so taboo and not something that was done unless it was with a therapist. It has made so many people realize that life isn't always perfect, that it's okay to not be okay, that your actions do have consequences- whether or not the repercussions happen to you or somebody else.

Needless to say, I'm an advocate for 13 Reasons Why and always will be. It has brought light to what most people overlooked, it showed us that we all play a part in everybody's lives whether we know it or not. It's a show that shouldn't be taken lightly, but it is a show you must watch.
