LOS ANGELES - Suicides by young Americans rose by almost a third in the month following the 2017 streaming debut of popular Netflix television series “13 Reasons Why,” in which a teenage girl is shown slitting her wrists, a U.S. study showed on Monday.
It also said rates of suicide for 10- to 17-year-olds were higher in the months following the debut, resulting in an additional estimated 195 suicide deaths from April to December 2017 versus expectations based on past data. The graphic scene caused a backlash among parents and health professionals, prompting Netflix in 2017 to put up additional viewer warning cards and direct viewers to support groups.
Parents are warning other parents to banned their kids from watching the show but I’ve been watching that show since it came out and I haven’t had any suicidal thoughts. Maybe their kids had those thoughts before they pressed the start button on Netflix
Let our kids do whatever they want so we don't have to worry about ... HEY MY DAUGHTER KILLED HERSELF SO NOW IM GOING TO BLAME A SHOW, Y, U KNOW, THAT ONE WHICH TALKS ABOUT SUICIDE, IT SURELY HAS SOMETHING TO DO IT That's how parents sound sometimes, ridiculous
'It gives childrens the idea' no honey, that's not true. When I was +/- her age I thought about killing myself and this show didn't even exist. Children doesn't 'need' a show to think about suicide. Take care of your own fucking kids.
It should be banned. 13ReasonsWhy
So now they want free speech. 'It is controversial. But nobody has to watch it,” Hastings said.
I do not doubt there is some correlation between this show and suicides, just like I believe that the media’s 24/7 coverage of “mass shootings” encourage copycats. I do not believe, for example, that someone wakes up in the morning and plans a mass shooting independent of...
13ReasonsWhy see what have you done
I kinda saw that coming. I really did. 😔
Heartbreaking!!
Well. You only need one reason not to watch that stupid shit and that's it.
Didn’t they claim that it would encourage people to talk about suicide rather than commit it? Maybe they lied for $$
Remember when the Democrats what teenagers to vote in our elections? Another reason why they shouldn’t
Sudah pernah membaca/mendengar perihal konten yang disampaikan di atas, Sis’ grealy_ ?
Imagine tweeting this tweet when the study in question directly says that there is no conclusive evidence that the show had any correlation with suicides. But that wouldn’t get clicks, would it?
Social media and community should be the ones to blame for this. Not the movie itself. do people become serial killer after they watch SAW series? nope
Yeah, wonder how much it’s risen since Facebook? Negligent reporting.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Reuters are crazy . like literally the dumbest researchers work for you .
So you're saying this fictional tv program is making people who watch it kill themselves? This sounds more like ' The Ring'. In any case this is sad and very serious and hope the powers that be take note and quickly adopt measures to stop this.
Adult suicides double after reading Reuter’s news.
But the series portrayed that suicide is an intriguing and cool option although suicide is an awful tragedy. I'm a fan of this show but clearly only matured adults are capable of handling of the disturbed messages of this show.
No.
That’s a very irresponsible tagline. It basically draws the conclusion that the show is to blame. Reading further for more concrete evidence that the show is guilty. There is none absolutely tying the show to the show. Is it possible the kids were already to end their lives?
Whomever tweeted this is a complete idiot and should be fired
Depopulation by ANY means
“U.S. youth suicides rise 29 percent after the launch of McDonald’s vegan meals” 😱
Take the class
Youth suicides rise 29% after Reuters fails to learn the difference between correlation and causation...
Might as well have said since the election of Trump. A sort of hopelessness has spread over the land.
Lee_in_Iowa I watched it and found it to be a very powerful story that young people should see to deter suicide.
Not surprising with the amount of utterly miserable media, if its not the news it's muppets on social media, or in movies and books. People seem to be forgetting how to relax and have fun - every single thing has to have a social conscience.
Typical fake news headline.
Nice celebratory photo selection to pile on the already misleading headline.
Sure. Let’s let them vote.
Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.....?
Very irresponsible that headline of Rauter. How they can establish that correlation so cheerfully without data or credible basis. No wonder the press is accused of lying everywhere. Irresponsible!
'The researchers acknowledged the study had limitations and said they could not make a direct “causal link” between “13 Reasons Why” and the increase in suicide rates or rule out other factors.' Are you by any chance also writing Chase tweets today?
That's also the month that the chainsmokers debut album came out, so food for thought
C'mon
I blame the Trump presidency
'And do not kill yourselves. No doubt, God is really Merciful to you..' (Quran 4:29)
Transgenders represent 62% of that figure go google
What a BS headline. You should be ashamed.
it's like netflix romanticized suicide or something hmmmm...
This is incredibly irresponsible reporting - the study itself indicates no causal link, yet your headline implies otherwise. There are many many factors behind youth suicide, there is no one reason for the increase.
Socity
Let 16 year olds vote they said. 16 year olds can totally make reasonable decisions and not be swayed by random pop culture trends they said...
Don’t be Evil
Thank you media / Hollywood . The noblest of causes - encouraging the downfall of the world to be propagated by the emotionally weak.
Sounds like safe spaces aren’t working anymore
Pretty irresponsible to suggest a correlation based on nothing.
This is irresponsible of you, Reuters
'It's just entertainment' ~ They all go..
this is some bullshit study
Have you ever heard the phrase 'Correlation does not equal causation?'
This is a little irresponsible
Also after the debut of President Trump.
