The rate of suicide among US boys ages 10 to 17 surged in the month after the Netflix show '13 Reasons Why' premiered in March 2017, according to a new study

The rate of suicide among US boys ages 10 to 17 surged in the month after the Netflix show"13 Reasons Why" premiered in March 2017, according to a new study.

Researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital measured monthly and annual rates of suicide reported to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2013 through 2017 among people ages 10 to 64. They then divided them into age groups. The month immediately following the release of the show had a suicide rate of 0.57 per 100,000 10- to 17-year-olds, the highest rate of the five-year study period in this age group.

Another recent study found that students who watched the full second season of the show were less likely to report self-harm and thoughts of ending their lives than students who didn't watch"13 Reasons Why" at all, potentially because the characters come together and discuss suicide. Students who didn't watch the entire second season had a higher risk of future suicide, according to the results.

hehehe, amogus

So when discussing suicide, there’s a generally agreed upon list of things to do and not do. 13 Reasons Why got most of them backwards

So stupid to do a show about this but hey ratings that’s what’s important

itwasntsuicide

netflix is bad for us.

That is like blaming Rocky for people trying to box,it is a tv show people.

Fucking misleading headline there was no definitive proof that there was correlation between the two

You see how much power to manipulate is in TV/movie/YouTube?! 😳

Liberalism kills, we are soaked in negative narratives and it’s freaking out our teenagers.

Moral: netflix kils😄

Kids are stupid. That is why democrats want them to be able to vote.

The problem isn’t in anyway the show it’s the society that pushed these boys to the point of their lives to relate to Hannah’s.

I have to say it was very sad and heartbreaking story and I can see why it would impact young minds

I am waiting for season 3 to kill myself. I love this show. Live is forced onto people... no one ask to live in this shitty world.

This is some dumb shit, cnn. Correlation does not equal causation and the suicide rate was already increasing despite this show.

Finally someone is doing something to stem the prevalence of sexual assaults by males.

More episodes more trouble.

I can say like a person who often has suicidal thoughts,that the show it's not appropriate for people with depression or that figths with suicidal thoughts.The show brings ideas to your head about how you can leave this world to explain yourself to others and makes it looks easy.

Netflix making a show glorifying teen suicide led to teen suicide....stunning

Stop studying

I’m sorry but this is ridiculous, a show is not the cause behind someone taking their own life. When I was suicidal, a show wasn’t the cause behind it. It was been bullied both emotionally and physically. Like this is nonsense.

That's not good at all, freakin' shit....😥😥😥

Unintended roadmaps

Probably because they seen how horrible the season 2 finale was

Suicide victims don't show any sign of committing suicide at all an issue which makes prevention of suicide complex if not impossible it just comes in by surprise with information from his suicide note while life is gone

America will not be destroyed by external forces. No sirrie. It will destroyed from within. Thanks to liberalism.

Natural selection lads

Prolly cus the pressure yall put on them.

u can't blame them for it.

who would have thought producing a show about attaining validation through suicide would lead to oh wait everyone

wtf kinda generations are coming up.

what

BoycottNetflix

Cancel that trash show please ffs
