5 Times ’13 Reasons Why’ Was Woke AF

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MMM chapter.

 

The Netflix series that everyone seems to be talking about right now is ’13 Reasons Why’ (click here for a review of the show). This series is woke af to say the least. It covers many issues that teens in high school may face like bullying, suicide awareness, and relationships. These issues aren’t irrelevant and don’t just happens in fictional storylines. Series like this can be helpful to viewers watching to relate to their lives, with recognizing when something is wrong with a peer and being aware of the signs that someone needs help.

 

1.) The education system

 

2.) Sexual Abuse

 

3.) Sexuality

 

4.) Bullying

 

5.) Overcoming obstacles

This series will have you on an emotional rollercoaster (Tip: keep tissues close by). Remember that at the end of the day and as cliché as it sounds, things do get better. Nothing in life is permanent! Problems that are currently being faced probably won’t matter in a few weeks, make sure to talk it out and don’t keep feelings bottled up.
