Courtesy of Netflix and “13 Reasons Why” website Here, Clay Jensen is listening to them and thinking about her. She is hyper-sensitive to the snubs and insults she receives in the toxic environment at Liberty High, where every cliche of teenage life is present- the geek, the jock, the bad cheerleader, the closeted lesbian… the beer pong parties where girls are encouraged to drink too much, where “something” happens to them that get swept under the rug/covered up. Hannah, a pretty new girl in school, becomes a target for bullying. 13 Reasons first season follows Clay, Hannah’s friend/ secret-ish admirer, on his first listen through the tapes. Hannah instructs her listeners to pass the tapes along in the order which they are numbered, and the students abide considering Hannah’s warning that a master copy exists in trusted hands. She left behind a series of cassette tapes, each dedicated to a peer or school administrator at Liberty High School who is a ‘Reason Why’ she chose to end her life.

When Netflix announced an adaptation executive-produced by an actress/singer popular with teens, Selena Gomez, for the stream-screen, I anxiously awaited its release. The series - which deals with sensitive issues of teen suicide, drug abuse, rape and bullying - is based on a 2007 young adult novel by Jay Asher titled Th1rteen R3asons Why, which I read and appreciated as an eighth grader.
