[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched the first one with my teen daughter and we both thought it was stupid. [b]The show basically blames her suicide on things that her friends did and didn't do some of which wasn't even intentional, in addition she was a messed up girl to begin with. [/b]We hate watched the episodes. How the friend in the brand new leather jacket that he wore every day would just pop up, how stereotypical the teen interactions were as well as the interactions with the parents. The whole thing was terribly produced and basically an after school special level of a show[/quote]

I've read the book, and watched the show with my teenagers and I agree entirely.  We did use it as a starting point to talk about different experiences, characters, and how to handle difficult situations.

I think that some of the reasons why are so minor that another teen, in a much worse situation, may take the entire show the wrong way.  I think the show is more of a disservice to teens and the topic of suicide.  Still, I used it to talk through all of the pitfalls in the show with my teens.[/quote]
