Case Study: I think that using a TV show and debuting it on a huge platform such as Netflix is definitely a way to reach multiple audiences and to spread awareness and get people talking about the issues portrayed in 13 Reasons Why (13RW), however, I think I remember hearing people talk about a negative impact of the show, and how the show almost promoted suicide in teens and adolescents and that the number of suicides did increase after the show was aired however I do not know how true this is or if the statistics are there to support it, etc. But I do think that it was effective to spread awareness of the topic. According to Uhls et al (2020), "viewing 13RW-3, a globally watched television show featuring social and mental health issues, led to adolescent conversations and information searches about topics explored by the show. Depressive symptoms and the impact of sexual assault moderated several relationships, guiding participants toward engaging with certain issues and seeking out specific conversational partners. As 13RW-3's stories drove conversations-and story-driven conversations can raise awareness, reduce stigma, shift attitudes, normalize certain behaviors, and strengthen supportive relationships-potential wellness implications for television shows featuring social and mental health issues are considerable." I agree therefore that the show 13RW led to more conversations and awareness of the topics of suicide, mental health, sexual assault, etc. It gave some teens and adolescents the courage to speak to others and reach out for help. I remember when the show first came out as I was a teen at the time and I was going through depression it was definitely relatable and it was like finally someone was hearing me, seeing me, and now other people would be aware and I just felt this shift in the world. I remember crying a lot while watching the show. It is definitely an intense show. I remember how the whole internet and social media sites were flooded with topics in the show and just discussing the show etc.
