TV show linked to youth suicides

A new study about the TV show “13 Reasons Why,” which follows the story of a high school girl who takes her own life, found that suicides among US youths rose significantly in the months following the popular Netflix show’s release.

“The associations identified here must be interpreted with a substantial degree of caution, but they do appear to demonstrate an increase in suicides that is consistent with potential contagion by media,” they wrote. The show was released on March 31, 2017, and generated some 11 million tweets within the first three weeks alone, before tailing off.
