Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say My tooth is aching than to say My heart is broken.

13 Reasons Why I Dislike the Show “13 Reasons Why”:
1. The American Foundation of Suicide Prevention has specific guidelines on how to safely portray suicide without inadvertently causing more deaths, and the series blatantly disregards those guidelines in graphically showing Hannah slitting her wrists. This could literally result in more deaths by suicide, which is NOT OKAY.
2. It glorifies suicide by making it seem like killing oneself and leaving tapes/a note/etc is the only way to effectively send a message to the world, when in fact, the opposite is true – the most effective way to send a message is to survive, thrive and tell one’s story.
3. It simplifies suicide by making it seem like it is a direct result of bullying, sexual assault, etc. when in reality the issue is far more complex.
4. It conveys other characters as unhelpful and unsupportive when Hannah tries to reach out, which could discourage viewers from seeking help themselves.
5. It does not effectively address the subject of mental illness, which is a major component in the issue of suicide.
6. Hannah essentially blames others for her death, when in reality suicide is a choice made by those who commit it. Yes, things such as bullying and sexual assault can be a main factor in suicidal ideation and mental illness, but the decision to commit suicide is solely in the hands of the individual.
7. One of the characters justifies her self harm by saying “it’s what you do instead of killing yourself”, which simplifies and glorifies self harm by making it seem like a good “compromise” instead of suicide.
8. The show provides no resources for those struggling with similar issues to Hannah, which again goes against the specific guidelines of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. It is not that hard to do research and find these guidelines, so it is clear that the creators of the show had little to no interest in taking advice from professionals or considering the potential negative impact they could have, which is honestly just disgusting.
9. The school counselor Hannah speaks to brushes off the clear signs of her being a suicide risk, which is literally against the law and not something any qualified professional would do.
10. It is highly offensive to many people struggling with mental illness and suicidal ideation because it never really delves into Hannah’s character, or portrays her as having mental illness (a major factor in most suicides) - it just makes her seem dramatic and attention-seeking, which perpetuates stereotypes.
11. It does not offer a healthy solution or way of coping with traumas such as bullying and assault - the only “solution” it offers is suicide, which, as mentioned previously, the show glamorizes and simplifies.
12. Hannah makes other people like Clay feel irreparably guilty for her death, which is cruel and inconsiderate, and not something most people who commit suicide would actually do. The show treats suicide as “the perfect revenge”, when in reality suicide is about feeling hopeless and sad and is a very personal decision.
13. As someone who has personally attempted suicide and knows the stories of countless others who have, I do not feel that the show accurately and fairly portrays the issue, or adequately addresses the main factors in suicide. To me and many others I have spoken to, it is downright offensive, lacking in research, and overall poorly done.
And that’s all I have to say about that.
I’m using this last picture as a reaction to everything 😭

hidden figures vol. 2
🗣 Their names are Ritu Karidhal, Anuradha TK, Nandini Harinath 🗣
I’m sorry I can’t seem to find the names of other women in the picture but these 3 women were the main ones involved in the project 💖
Looked this up and figured I’d add an article that further details this awesomeness in case anyone’s interested:

These are the kinds of Christians I wish I had more around me growing up.
!!!!!
Heck yeah!! 🙌🏽
Exactly. If love isn’t at the center of every word you speak, every action you take, and every decision you make, you’re doing it wrong.
This is the kind of Christian we need. If Christians as a whole acted in a truly Christ-like way, I would adore them. Unfortunately….
Even when I was a Christian, I often muttered “Lord, save me from your followers. Most don’t act in your image and it’s unmitigated horse shit.” I got kicked out of Sunday school/bible study a lot, unsurprisingly.
those WWJD bracelets were super corny (is that still a thing?) but if Christians actually kept “what would Jesus do?” as their central principle they would stand up for the oppressed, help the disadvantaged, speak out against hypocrisy and self-righteousness, and fight corruption
I have nothing but respect for Christians who make loving and helping people the center of their practice, and nothing but contempt for those who use their so-called faith as an excuse to look down on others
unfortunately, the former tend to be quiet because Jesus explicitly says not to brag about your good works or how pious you are, while the latter have mistaken the command to spread his teachings for “tell everyone they’re going to hell.”
I haven’t the slightest idea why this post has taken off again, but hella happy if it inspires anybody ❤
