Good morning, everyone!!!
I spent yesterday afternoon relaxing for the first time in probably weeks. I was just plain exhausted and needed a bit of down time so I took it.
While doing so I realized I hadn't finished 13 Reasons Why Season 2 yet. So I popped on Netflix and picked up where I left off. Back in the winter months I binge watched the first season. It had been a recommended show for me by my son and daughter-in-law and I'm really glad I watched it.
The first season (which I recommend watching this show in order, first season then second) kept you on the edge of your seat with wonder, but this second season really jolted me and took me to a level that I'm not sure I've ever felt before.
I won't spoil the show for you too much, however, the last episode did actually make my stomach hurt, literally. In a bad way, but not in a bad way like you would think. Not because the show sucked, no where close, but in an emotional realm that really touched my soul and brought an ache to my heart.
I watched some of the interviews done at the end with the writers and actors and I completely got what they are trying to do with this show. I'm scared to death of the next season because it appears they will go even deeper into this school violence and bullying to a place where it is uncomfortable for people to acknowledge.
With that said, I'm glad they are doing this. Society needs to feel this discomfort. Society needs to understand how bogus some of their thinking is and realize the deeper issues.
Being a writer I saw where this was going just a few episodes into the storyline. What I didn't see coming was the 'over the edge' moment they put the character through to get to this 'over the edge' moment. My heart fell out of my chest and yes, I cried like a baby for this young man. I understood how he got to this point. And yes, I even understood why he felt the way he did.
I hope this show does what the writers intend for it to do, bring awareness, a much needed awareness to not only our school systems but our society as well. I am sure people are going to jump on the bandwagon and spew hate and negativity about the writers messages, but I hope I truly hope, that it does help in this area and people wake up and smell the coffee.
Today's society is full of self serving people today. I watch each and every day this mentality worsen only to shake my head and wonder how on earth we got where we are today. How do we get to a place where people don't care about other people?
Even those claiming to care are spewing negativity left and right, backwards and forwards, all in the name of their so called cause. Sadly, negativity will never stop negativity, it only feeds it. People feel they are so entitled these days no one is 'allowed' to have an opinion but them. This is trickling down into the mentality of our children. This is destroying our youth. This is destroying our societies.
It is one thing to stand up for what you believe in and another thing to bully your way into what you believe in. Just some food for thought.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
