This Netflix series seems to have garnered a lot of negative publicity.
The argument against the series seems to be that it MIGHT "contribute to a contagion (suicide) effect" among students with mental illness.
My argument in favor- is that the show does a great job demonstrating how ones thoughtless actions effect others in unpredictable ways.
That it also does a great job demonstrating the old saying "There but
for the grace of God, goes I."
My teenage kids seem to have huge problems excepting responsibility for their actions. And they lack empathy.
I can't see the show exposing my kids to anything they wouldn't already see in highschool.
