13 Reasons Why Should'nt Have Opened Your Eyes

The popular netflix series 13 Reasons Why have had a lot of people talking wheter it's about how much they love it or how it opened their eyes on School bullying and suicide. Well this a letter to the people who watched the show and were bullies and mean to others and then suddenly cared more about suicide awareness. First off why did it take a depressing show to open your eyes on how bullying is a real issue in schools? Why did it open your eyes to say wow it's not okay to call that girl a whore, or it's not okay to make fun of the kid who doesn't have the nicest things, it's not okay to make fun of the person with a disability. I just don't get why it took a show for you to realize that bullying is a serious issue and when someone says they are suicidal it's not a joke. You always need to take that seriously, and you always need to look for signs so that maybe you can prevent them from committing suicide. Watching 13 Reasons Why and suddenly realizing what a serious problem school bullying is isn't an apology to the people you hurt in the past, and even if you did apologize that wouldn't remove the pain and bad memories from that person. Suicide is not a joke and bullying isn't a laughing matter.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
