Why You Should Love Thirteen Reasons Why

So much can be taken away from the story of Hannah Baker.

Why You Should Love Thirteen Reasons Why
Katherine Langford

Recently, as I'm sure you're all aware, Netflix came out with it's newest hit series called Thirteen Reasons Why. There has been a lot of hype about this new show and I've seen a lot of articles about how this show isn't something to be loved. No, it's not about roses and daisies and it doesn't involve two hopeless romantics falling in love. It's about a teenage girl's struggles throughout high school and her choice to ultimately end her life. It depicts the clear discrepancies among society about how to deal with bullying and suicide and the horrific effects.

I am one of the millions of people who decided to watch this new show and I am so thankful that I did. We all can learn so much from the story of Hannah Baker. I realize that there is a lot of controversy the series, but instead of looking at it and remembering it with a bad taste in your mouth, appreciate it. Appreciate it for what it is. And it's okay to say that you liked the show. It holds a lot of meaning and a lot of lessons. I think that even if you haven't had a chance to watch it, you know that it's not a show that will leave you smiling and feeling warm inside. It will make you seriously take a look at you life and evaluate how you're living it.

The story of Hannah Baker is a tragic one. But it is one that should be talked about. Even though this story took place on the big screen, there are so many real stories that happen behind the scenes that need more attention. Hopefully this was the start to that change we so desperately need. The truth needs to be raw and hard to watch or listen to. We need to stop brushing it off until it happens to us. We need to realize that even though this is a fictional story, the real stories are happening every day just like this one.

A show like this makes a feel raw emotion, emotions we may not feel every day of our lives. This show should be loved and appreciated, it's opening doors and raising voices.

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.
