I often don’t read book in my free time, but I recently read a book called Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher. The book is about a High School girl named Hannah Baker who commits suicide. Before doing so she taped herself telling certain individuals why she decided to end her life. The tapes are passed on from person to person, and each person plays a role in her suicide. Thus, giving the title meaning, when being passed between the thirteen people you realize that even the small things that you say can affect a person’s self-esteem. The story made me personally reflect, and think twice about the things I say to people. Even though I may be joking, some people may not find it humorous, and may take it personal. I honestly don’t know what I would do if I had ever been personally involved in the reason why someone had committed suicide. I think the book is a great way for people to look outside the box, and think about other people’s feelings.
That sounds like a good book that would be a good read for younger people in high school. Maybe the book would make them think twice about bullying someone
