Teen suicide is a topic that everyone knows about. Even today there are many teens that have thought about or killed themselves. Some of the reasons that teens want to kill themselves is because they are being picked on by people in school or around them. I think that its important to read Thirteen Reasons Why because people need to know how their actions affect the people around them.
Thirteen Reasons Why is about a girl named Hanna Baker who recorded herself talking about why she wanted to end her life. The people that were on the tapes had a big effect on her choice to kill herself. They did things that would embarrass her in front of people and have the rest of the school look at her like she was a bad person or someone they could not be around. Thirteen Reasons Why shows you what degrading someone can cause them to do.
Another reason people think about killing themselves is from the music that they listen to. There are rappers like Eminem and bands like Hollywood Undead and Senses Fail that rap and sing about killing themselves or others. Most of what they sing about will influence teens to have suicidal thoughts. When teens are being picked on and get upset they listen to music that could potentially cause them to think more about suicide.
I think its important to read Thirteen Reasons Why because it shows what picking on someone can do. I highly recommend people to read this book because it will make you think twice about picking on someone for being different. After I read this book it changed my thoughts on people I will now think before I go and say something because what I say might hurt someone and make them think about killing themselves or hurting someone else.
