Stop Making Memes of Hannah Baker

There's nothing funny about these memes

Stop Making Memes of Hannah Baker

13 Reasons Why, a Selena Gomez-produced Netflix series, came out two weeks ago, and it already has broken records for Netflix. More than thousands of people tweeted during the first days and week of the release. The series brings many emotions and displays a powerful message about cyberbullying.

Teenager Hannah Baker commits suicide after being bullied and harassed. Clay Jensen receives a shoe box filled with 13 tapes and listens to the 13 Reasons Why Hannah took her own life. Boys treated her like a slut, her so-called friends betrayed her, etc.

Some viewers don't understand the true meaning behind this story. Recently, on Instagram and Twitter, people have created memes of Hannah Baker of asking a kid for a pencil, and when they denied, she says 'welcome to your tape.' Most of the memes are basically stating that the reasons she killed herself are kind of stupid. She doesn't know how to handle situation and when people do something to her, she adds them to a tape.

Please stop and think of what you're doing. Maybe killing herself wasn't the right choice and she could've handled the situation better. However, she was sexually harassed, she was bullied, she was slut-shamed. Those are not easy situations to go through. No girl wants to see her picture with her crush going around the school. Her so-called friends leave her and then one of them starts a list about her butt and more pictures of her in a compromising situation goes around. Men don't treat her right and think she can just be used for pleasure and enjoyment. This show isn't meant to be made fun through memes. There are serious issues. There can be many people in the world going through something similar. Don't forget the message about the show: Bullying and Cyberbulling is not right. Words and actions of others can really affect people. Think before you do something to people because it can have consequences. Slut-shaming is not okay. Stalking people is not okay. Rape is not okay.

Think before you do something.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
