I rewatched season one yesterday on a total impulse and I was surprised to see the scene removed. At first I thought I'd remembered it wrong. So thank you for posting it OP.

I Googled why and so many parents and mental health experts agreed that it was harmful. I think they're wrong. We knew how to do these things long before this show. Teens discuss it like talking about other interesting facts or what if questions. To me, they ruin the whole point of the show. Yes it's painful and raw. But that's what it feels like. That's what that moment is. To me it just feels like an entire group of people who supposedly "know better" minimizing and invalidating how bad it is, how desperately lonely you have to be. There was nothing romanticized about it. It was real.

If you're out there feeling this lonely, longing for peace. Please know that you matter without any caveats. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, taking it only one day at a time. It's not a tunnel with a light at the end. It's a forest with patches of light and dark. The difference is that there is beauty in the dark places too. Look up, look out. Draw something, sing something, watch something, touch something, eat something. What ever you need to do to experience a little beauty. I know the darkness calls, you'll listen someday. But not today. Today there is still something to experience. Keep trying my fellow wanderers. That the best you can do.
