 `I wholeheartedly agree with Ellis Donaghey in her article "Why '13 Reasons Why' Fails," mainly because when I finished the series, it was a creative way of displaying their purpose of preventing suicide; however, the producers had created the complete opposite of stopping suicide. I sincerely believe that this Netflix show had negatively impacted young teenager’s mindset. With the young viewers watching, the domino effect appears. For example, Donaghey mentions that the gruesome images in the show may have led to “copycat behaviors.” While the producers are trying to conclude suicide acts, they are actually influencing the viewers to do so. The series produced a world around Hannah, the main character, where she undergoes the lack of help. Indeed, I completely agree with Donghey’s argument in multiple ways. She did an excellent job at explaining her argument.
