I 100% recommend the Netflix Origional, 13 Reasons Why. Kids are actually very smart and know if they can mentally handle something. I know this review is getting long, but please listen to your kid if they want to watch this show. Putting warnings is not mandatory but the makers of the show went out of their way to put them there. The show also has warnings before some of the episodes that tell people that there will be graphic situations in this episode. However, I think many people forget that this show is rated MA (mature).
Lastly, many people are saying that this show is too graphic. This show also puts a spotlight on the effects of suicide and makes teens see that words can hurt. Kids often cyberbully/bully each other and this show really shows the effects that can have on kids and teens. (notice that I say "some" as this show is fiction and can not be related to everyone's experience.) They do this by showing that teens do not usually go to their parents for help and often curse. Second, the show is very realistic, unlike shows like Gossip Girl, and really highlights some high schooler's experiences. First, it sparked many conversations with my family and friends about suicide that I think wouldn't have had come up otherwise. Overall, I think this show was very well put together. Just remember that if your ever thinking about suicide, don't. I would say to anyone who had never watched the show that it was good, but to beware. Maybe that's why I found so much interest in the series. The worst part for me was that Hannah reminded me of someone I know, or knew. But realize that one day, your child will discover what you hid from them and question everything that you ever taught them. And if a parent wants to protect their child from life, then fine. Hannah Baker committed suicide, and I have known one person who once told me that they had considered suicide. However, the show is important for every teen to watch, in my opinion. I know now that I was wrong, but, nevermind.Īnyway, I was appalled because this was the first time I had ever seen anything like this. I lived a very sheltered type of life, and grew up thinking that shut up and stupid were the worst words in the world. I was appalled to see that they had two minor sex scenes within the first two episodes. There were a few things that surprised me though. I was interested when I first found out what the whole thing was themed on and made a point to watch it. It's totally up to you and your family rules however.
I recommend ten and up because I would let my little sister watch this. I chose to watch because all my friends were talking about 13 Reasons Why. Which Side of History? How Technology Is Reshaping Democracy and Our Lives.Cómo saber si una aplicación o sitio web son realmente educativos.
