Schools have an important role in preventing youth suicide, and being aware of potential risk factors in students’ lives is vital to this responsibility. The trending Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, based on a young adult novel of the same name, is raising such concerns - states the National Association os School Psychologists. The series revolves around 17-year-old Hannah Baker, who takes her own life and leaves behind audio recordings for 13 people who she says in some way were part of why she killed herself. Each tape recounts painful events in which one or more of the 13 individuals played a role.

Is society taking a voyeuristic approach to the idea of suicide clusters (hence the success of 13 Reasons Why?) rather than really trying to find a solution to the bigger problem? Are parents giving their teenagers too much freedom and autonomy in their daily lives? What role has social media played in causing teenager to feel that there is no hope and suicide is the only way out?
Co-Hosts Ava Armstrong & Erin Morgart join Malcolm to take on the serious subject of suicide and the impact it is having on America's youth. Reach out to the show directly and any of our hosts if we can help at [email protected].
