After reading about the suicide chapter in the textbook, I was still a little confused about what suicide really is. But, after watching the movie I started to understand suicide much better. The movie helped me to better understand the signs and symptoms of suicide I have read about in the textbook. The movie allowed me to see the warning signs of suicide and how to recognize them. If these signs were recognize by the mother, Jessie’s suicide could have been prevented. Most people do not plan suicides over a matter of minutes; it takes much time for the person to make their decision. This was greatly depicted in the movie, when Jesse had thought about suicide for months and planned the whole thing.

By watching a movie, I better understand the topic of suicide and helped me to better understand

With each analysis the reader gets a greater understanding of suicide and the mental state of those who commit it, as well as some of their motives. One could read only a single chapter of this book and gain a greater understanding than they previously had on the topic of suicide, but when one brings all the chapters together as a whole a much deeper understanding is obtained. Lester’s analyses start with diaries, using that of a girl he has called Katie as his first example. In this 14 page chapter he analyses her diary, not only comparing her to Ophelia from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, but using that comparison to show some of her motives and to make sense of them. It is this astute analysis that sets the tone for the rest of the similar chapters, in a way that is not boring but is not lighthearted in the slightest. The way that the whole book works together to give one insight on the topic of suicide makes it a useful resource for those who wish to understand it in a more in-depth way.

In Jay Asher’s Novel Thirteen Reasons Why (2007), the characters struggle through many different ideas as they cope with how they played a role in Hannah Baker’s decision to commit suicide. While the idea of being the reason someone chooses to take their own life is not an easy thought to wrap one’s head around, and a thought that no one would even like to consider is true, Asher takes on this idea and helps teenagers come to terms with suicide.

She sits back with tears in her eyes, and waits until the blood drains out of her. Henceforth, Hanna's mother notices the water seeping under the bathroom door, as she's asking Hanna questions about
With an increase in anxiety and stress in teenagers, some are choosing to cope with such tension by finding a form of release in self-harm.
