Now watch Man in the High Castle

The sad thing is the situations portrayed in 13 Reasons Why are all too common.

Wasn't there a whole thing on the news claiming that that show endorses suicide? 

@DrMacintosh I don't know but when it first came out, the High school I went to was advising parents not to let students watch it. Possibly for that reason.

Before I watched it, I thought that it would endorse suicide.

The name of the show didn't help. But I think in the end it didn't so much endorse suicide as explaining why some people think about it (and why others do it). Pretty fine line to walk but I think they managed to stay away from endorsing it.

Spoilers in bracket:

Edit: Also my perspective:

Not gonna lie, I have had thought about suicide. And ocasionally I still get suicidal thoughts but having a sense of purpose in life or reasons to keep going definitely helps.

Edit 2: Oh and definitely don't watch the show if you're under 18 and/or in a bad place mentally.

Back when Season 2 released in May I heard spoilers about

and that held me off watching it until June. In July I got to that episode and was disappointed how that turned out. If there is a season three idk what they'd do.

i watched season 1 only. what i saw was fantastic in terms of storytelling and the actual handling of the subject and how it affects others. I didn't find it to endorse suicide, I found it to show the truth of what's left behind
