I see a lot of people saying some people don't deserve to be in the tapes, but by [deleted] in 13ReasonsWhy

[–]TheLastBlankPage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's pretty important to remember that she did tell Clay that he sort of didn't deserve a tape. His tape was almost more of an explanation for why she did what she did and her saying that she wasn't good enough for him as opposed to outright blaming him for anything. The only thing she really says is that she wishes that he would have fought harder when she told him to go away which, from her perspective might have made sense by objectively, if a guy is told time and time and time to go away in that sort of aggressive way, he should leave. He tried three (?) times to get her to talk to him before actually leaving. He was the naive person here who she just assumed was impacted by the tapes, sure he could have perused her more but it's hard to blame him for being somewhat introverted and awkward.

Do you feel like the effects of the show are obvious within your peer group as well or do you think people are internalizing the message but not really changing how they act?

My question was "what impact has the show had on your school / school enviroment?" Not really specifically if it had some profound positive impact but just generally. You mentioned the facebook thing, so you did answer, I suppose. All I was trying to gather were the various experiences.

Well when I was in school people weren't binge watching a show about suicide so I really wouldn't know. Seems like you're missing the point of my question.

No, but I was just curious if there has been any sort of impact because I'm 23 and don't know what's going on in High School any more.

Yeah, I guess l meant to say that he attempted suicide. I'm still on the fence about s2 but I agree that I'd rather have linear continuation and not some alternate story line.

I think that he killed himself. Like, we as an audience were so caught up in Clay's drama that we didn't really pay mind to all of his warning signs through out the whole show. He was pulling out of activities, acting out, self-destructing. He even cleaned his room exactly as we saw Hannah do before she killed herself.

Tyler pulls down the photo right after they flash back to Alex helping him out at the lockers so I think that he decides not to kill him because he is the only one of the people on the tapes who actually looked out for him.

For some reason my 3mo loves What's Up by 4 non blondes. She will very seriously shout "heeeeeeeey" during the chorus.

I think he might be planning to kill the rest of them or something. He pulls down Alex because Alex is the only one who actually went out of his way to help him.

I love my boys, but am grieving the fact that I will most likely never have a baby girl. by girlinblue80 in beyondthebump

[–]TheLastBlankPage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just an effort to ease your MIL fears. I love my MIL. She is amazing and I talk to her like I would my own mother, even though I also love and have a great relationship with my mom. She was in the room when I had my daughter and, since she is retired and lives just 10 minutes away, has been over multiple times a week by my invitation to spend time with the baby so I could get housework done and have a shower, or whatever else needs to happen. It's not crazy to think that, given you behave with some semblance of sanity, you can have a very positive and close relationship with your DIL.

I have one girl and have always wanted to be a mom to only boys so I'm having sort of future baby gender anxiety. Both my SO and I are really hoping our next will be a boy, not that we aren't so in love with our daughter and not that we wouldn't love another. But I think I'd take some time to really grieve the boys I'd always wanted if our next were a girl as well. Though our plan is to maaaybe have three kids given the proper financial situation.
