13 Reason Why: More than a Netflix Show

Have you ever read a book that hit you so hard you couldn't stop? One that left you thinking long after you had finished. Well 13 Reasons Why does just that.  
It started out as a book by Jay Asher, but was then produced into a Netflix series by Selena Gomez. 

This is more than just a Netflix series, and here are 13 reasons why: 1. Brings awareness to the signs of suicide 2. Brings awareness to bullying behaviors 3. Shines a ligth on why gossip is damaging 4. Shows just how important it is to have a healthy, positive support system 5. Educates us about the pervasiveness of rape culture 6. Relatable beyond high school 7. Reminds us that it's important to stand up for others 8. Highlights male privilege 9. A reminder for adults about how hard it is to be an adolescent 10. Talks about how small actions can have large and far-reaching consequences 11. A tool for self-awareness 12. Reminder that random acts of kindness can have an important impact 13. "13 Reasons Why" is a reminder of how we can treat others so much better than we do.
