A lot of people do not like the idea of a season two of the Netflix hit 13 Reasons Why. I for one am extremely excited for season two. My first encounter with 13 Reasons Why was during middle school when I read the book. Being a middle schooler reading that book was amazing. I thought it was the perfect book for me at the time. The book taught me how my actions indirectly impact others without me even realizing it. Most of us do not realize the impact we have on people especially at that age and for some, they never realize their impacts on others. As we grow, we become aware of our actions and how they affect people directly but not how they affect people indirectly. The book was able to teach me that lesson.

we watched as Hannah went from this

to this

Now, onto the show. I was very excited for season one. I thought the show was AMAZING at displaying what the book had taught me years before, That I have an impact on the people around me, whether I know it or not. The show displayed how all of the people's actions impacted Hannah and how the people were so unaware of the impact they had on her. Though the show is viewed as glorifying suicide I do not think that was the intention of the show. I do not think the intention of the show or the book is mainly the point of suicide at all, I think it is to make people realize that they impact the world around them regardless of if they have it in mind. I believe the hope was for people to learn from the story and think about their actions before they take action.

My hopes are for that season two to be an extension with this lesson and maybe some new ones. Maybe learn the lessons by seeing how the tapes impacts everyone who hears them.
