Thirteen Reasons Why

I have mixed feelings about this book. I feel that the author's efforts to educate us about our affect on other people is valid and true. I think it's especially important we learn this by middle school and high school. We never know how much we hurt or help others by our actions.
I am a little concerned that this story portrays suicide as a way of punishing or getting back at others for the pain that they cause. I think that this idea is dangerous and often inaccurate but I worry that some people will judge others with suicidal thoughts as a way of being malicious rather than a deep abyss that people often leaves others desperate.
