[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really think this show glamorizes suicide and, like others had pointed out, depicts it as a revenge fantasy. I went to a very small private school with lots of 'drama' and also suffered from pretty severe depression and anxiety. I often did fantasize about people who had hurt my feelings 'missing me when I was gone' or that my ex boyfriend would regret it if I did something to myself.

Obviously as an adult it is easier to put these things in perspective but as a young teen I can see it being damaging. [/quote]

I know i'm late - but just getting through it now. It's horribly histrionic- but I guess a lot of teens are. I went through a very short episode myself- but verrrry short (like, a few days? after a break up?) I wonder if some teens consider suicide as a revenge fantasy and don't really get beyond that - they don't think it through completely and end up dead in spite of themselves.  Many teens are notoriously short-sighted and self-centered.

I tried to get my eldest (12) to watch but he said "too boring" and either the subtleties are lost on him or it's too embarrassing to watch with Mom.[/quote]

12 is much too young!  [/quote]
