Hey guys what is up welcome back to my blog I’m so thankful that you guys took the time out of your day to read my blog post. Hope you all are safe from the COVID-19. We all know about 13 reasons why if not then maybe you have been living under a rock regardless the show got its last season recently and it was a real treat with all the plots that began from the first season.
So the basic plot from the first season is that a girl names Hannah Baker commits suicide and leaves behind 13 tapes containing 13 reasons why she committed suicide. The ‘reasons’ also have a boy names Clay Jensen who after listening to the tapes wants to get Hannah justice. The people in the tapes are bound by the secret of the tapes. A lot of shit happens and there are a few fights as there should be in a high school show. The cast is diverse. There are real people problems like racism. While most people say that the 4th season moved away from the story of Hannah I just think that it was the perfect wrap up for all the characters and Hannah’s story. The new season, the 4th one wraps up the story resolving all the plots and sub plots and most of all it follows more of the characters dealing with stress and depression than the murder, who killed who and getting justice that the last 3 seasons were. (WARNING MILD SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THE SHOW THEN SKIP TO NEXT PARAGRAPH) Clay suffers from depression and anxiety so much so that he dissociates.
So as the season begins with saying that another death has taken place and that it’s the fault of the generations that came before them because they messed things up put in too much hate in the world and there was too little caring. This proves to be true because one of the many reasons Hannah committed suicide was surprise surprise because she was bullied and not in the slammed against the locker way but in a mental way and as we see she faces crisis after crisis until finally she just breaks as she can’t take it anymore. This is actually a very accurate representation of a teen in the world we live in today. There is so much hate in high school and while there may be a ban on physical bullying there is still mental and emotional bullying. Hannah isn’t given any chances she didn’t talk to anyone because she considered the world around her cruel and that her hurt could be stopped with suicide. She didn’t do it just after one act but after multiple acts of hurt just laid upon her mercilessly one after another. In all this she forgets about the good things that she has in life because that’s not what we’re taught. We’re taught to swallow up emotions and just bear with whatever comes our way. We’re told that we have it good and that it was much worse in the times before. Some people even take it to the level of saying that depression isn’t even real and that teens fake it for attention. I say not true. Yes not every teen faces the hardest struggles of life that doesn’t mean that their struggles are not struggles.
The new season shows Clay Jensen and the others severely depressed because of that they did. Some just can’t even go on anymore. Some turn to drugs and alcohol for comfort just because they didn’t know what they could do. They didn’t have a way to fix their lives. They lived with their guilt. Now not every teen murders someone in their high school life much less cover it up and get away with it. The deeper meaning here is that teens struggle. They struggle with bullying and not being able to talk to someone. They struggle with trying to do the right thing. They struggle with seeing who is helping them and who is not. They struggle with ‘surviving high school’. Now I want everyone to think long and hard about this ‘Is this the world we want to create?’ The answer will come to you automatically. If you think that the world is good as it is then by all means continue living. If not then do something. Change something. Get up with a smile on your face, try to make others smile, try to help other people, try to spread positivity instead of hate. If you see someone struggling with issues help them out. Try just try because that is all we can do. We are the people who make the world and we are the ones who can change it.
So that is it for this post guys hope you got some value from this. Thank you guys for reading to the end hit me up on Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn with your thoughts and if you have any ideas which I should write about. Stay safe from the COVID-19. Thank you again and I’ll see you all next week.
