Why '13 Reasons Why' Doesn't Need A Second Season

Yes, there are questions we are left with but I'm not dying for answers.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead

You have probably been living under a rock if you haven't heard about the Netflix original series "13 Reasons Why." Just a few days after the release of the show, it became one of the most popular Netflix series ever produced. This show defines what can cause a person to mentally break and to feel the need to commit suicide; and, yes, it is being renewed for a second season. If you have watched "13 Reasons Why", you are probably jumping for joy because you were left with many questions as Tony and Clay drive off into the sunset in the final episode of season 1. Seriously, there are a lot of things we don't know: Did Alex shoot himself, or did Tyler do it? What happened to Bryce? Did he go to jail? What about Justin, what does he do with the gun he had? Jessica? Mr. Porter? The Bakers?

Well, I am here to tell you that a second season of "13 Reasons Why" is completely unnecessary. Yes, I would also like to know the answer to all of the questions listed above, but I don't think I need the answers to survive. The show is centered around the character Hannah Baker who killed herself and was telling others the 13 reasons why she did it. The 13th episode shows what the last reason was and we see her actually killing herself. The whole point of the show is to explain what goes through an adolescents' mind when he or she has a breakdown and feels the need to commit suicide. We hear Hannah's last reason, and we hear all of her story. This show was her story.

The end of season 1 left so many questions for us to guess an answer to. Personally, I wish it would stay that way. The show is centered around suicide and the conclusion of the season is open-ended. It almost mimics the act of suicide itself. When someone commits suicide, they never get the answer to all the questions that they have. When we die, we'll never know if the Green Bay Packers win the 2101 Super Bowl (if that's still a thing by then). We'll never know all the things we want, which is how the season ends.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the show and I am interested to see how they do the second season. But when I finished the show, I wasn't dying for answers. Hannah told her story. What more can be told?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
