'13 Reasons Why' No Longer Has A Graphic Suicide Scene - NPR

Two years after it released the first season of the show 13 Reasons Why with a graphic suicide scene, Netflix has announced that it has edited it out.

The show is centered around the suicide of fictional teen Hannah Baker, and the first season's finale shows her taking her own life. Several organizations, including the National Association of School Psychologists, raised concerns that it could serve to romanticize suicide for vulnerable teens.

"Our creative intent in portraying the ugly, painful reality of suicide in such graphic detail in Season 1 was to tell the truth about the horror of such an act, and make sure no one would ever wish to emulate it," show creator Brian Yorkey said in a statement. "But as we ready to launch Season 3, we have heard concerns about the scene from Dr. Christine Moutier at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and others, and have agreed with Netflix to re-edit it."

"No one scene is more important than the life of the show, and its message that we must take better care of each other," he added. "We believe this edit will help the show do the most good for the most people while mitigating any risk for especially vulnerable young viewers."

After some initial criticism, Netflix added a warning card to the beginning of the episode, alerting viewers that the episode contained "graphic depictions of suicide and violence."

The show also has a website, 13reasonswhy.info, containing resources about suicide prevention. It contains videos of cast members discussing topics such as bullying, consent, depression, and how to talk with a teen about the series. The site also warns: "If you are struggling, this series may not be right for you or you may want to watch it with a trusted adult."

The edited version, now on Netflix, shows Hannah looking at herself in the mirror, full of emotion. It then cuts to her parents finding her body in the bathroom and reacting to her death. The previous version was nearly three minutes long, according to The Hollywood Reporter, and shows her cutting her wrists with a razor blade.

Netflix's decision has drawn praise from a number of suicide prevention advocates, such as American Association of Suicidology, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, American School Counselor Association, Dr. Helen Hsu from Stanford, advocacy group Mental Health America, the Trevor Project and Dr. Rebecca Hedrick from Cedars-Sinai, according to THR.

"We support the decision to edit the scene in which Hannah takes her own life from 13 Reasons Why. There has been much debate about the series in the medical community," they said in a joint statement, as THR reported. "But this positive change will ensure that 13 Reasons Why continues to encourage open conversation about mental health and suicide prevention — while also mitigating the risk for the most vulnerable teenage viewers."

Ron Avi Astor at the University of Southern California, who studies adolescent bullying and mental health, discussed with NPR's Anya Kamenetz how the images of self-harm on the show could impact teens.

Avi Astor told Kamenetz that the depiction could be contagious – but just for certain teens. "It's not just that any random kid would see it and do it," he said, but for a kid who was already thinking about suicide, it had the potential to influence their behavior.

If you or someone you know may be considering suicide, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (En Español: 1-888-628-9454; Deaf and Hard of Hearing: 1-800-799-4889) or the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741741.

Hannah Brown and Luke P. Are Fighting on Twitter About Windmill Sex and OMG - Yahoo Lifestyle

Photo credit: Instagram

From Cosmopolitan

  • Hannah Brown and Luke P. got into a major Twitter fight during The Bachelorette.
  • Luke implied Hannah was a "sinner" for having sex in a windmill.

Good morning: Hannah Brown is POPPING OFF. So, last night The Bachelorette finally aired its ~fantasy suite~ dates, where Luke shamed Hannah for sleeping with other men and was booted off the show.

During the episode, this dude hit Instagram to offer his "side of the story" (um, PASS), and Hannah was not having it. In a lengthy post, Luke said it "hurt my heart" that Hannah felt she was being shamed, and that he never intended to judge her.

"I was simply making a decision for myself on what I expected in our relationship, our conversations and our beliefs led me to believe we were on the same page about sex," he said. "For me it was never about getting a rose, it was always about finding a wife who would choose me everyday just as I would choose her everyday."

He then went on and on about everything he's learned from his time on the show (zzzzz, read the caption if you care), and to make matters worse he @-ed Hannah on Twitter, low-key calling her a sinner, which...DUDE NO.

"The difference in how we view sin is seen in the response," he said. "I’m weeping at mine and you’re laughing at yours. All sin stings. My heart hurts for both of us."

Hannah's response? Best describe as epic: "time and time again jesus loved and ate with 'sinners' who laughed. and time and time again he rebuked 'saints' that judged. where do you fall Luke?"

Luke felt the need to respond to this clearly rhetorical question, saying "here is a difference between eating with sinners who laugh and sinners who laugh at their sin. Sin is the very thing that put Jesus on the cross and that’s not a laughing matter."

And then Hannah called him out even more, just all "i have never said that i find my sin funny. i’m not going to lectured on appropriate emotional responses by a guy who threw deli meat in a guys lap. the devil wants to shame sin. God dealt with shame when he dealt with sin, so i will not allow someone who comes in the name of God to bring me something that God has taken off me."

And then HE HAD THE NERVE TO CALL HER OUT ON WINDMILL SEX AGAIN:

Honestly I need a moment to calm down, goodbye.

Meek Mill Shares Parole Restrictions & Not Being Able To Pick Up Son From School - HotNewHipHop

Prison and criminal justice reform advocate Meek Mill isn't just a thumb-thugging social justice warrior for social media. His journey began back in 2008 when Meek was arrested on gun and drug charges. He was placed on probation for five years (which has continuously been extended) and he kept himself out of trouble for nine years, that is until he was thrown back in jail for a minor parole violation. A judge sentenced him to two to four years in prison, but thankfully he was eligible for release after spending six months behind bars.

Today, Meek will stand in yet another courtroom as he makes the argument that his 2008 should be tossed out. His battle with the judge in that case has been well-documented, as he's accused her of having a bias against him. On Tuesday morning, Meek's full interview with Gayle King for CBS This Morning will air, and the rapper will talk about the injustice he and millions of others face at the hands of the system.

In this clip, Meek shared that he has to get permission to go anywhere outside of his local area. "Even if it's to the next county over. If it's out of the city, if you don't ask for permission, you could get the rest of your probation time given to you as jail time legally." He said picking up his son from school was an impossible feat. "My son lived in New Jersey, but I lived in Philadelphia, and the bridge is a 15-minute ride. It's just a bridge. I couldn't go get my son from school when I wanted to, 'cause you know, some days I would get off work early. I would just have a free day, and I would just want to pop up at my son's school and get him from school. I'd been out of town for two weeks in a row workin'. Can't really do it."

Netflix has cut graphic suicide scene from first season of '13 Reasons Why' - CNN

The series is based on best-selling author Jay Asher's 2007 young adult book of the same title. It follows the fictional story of a teenage girl named Hannah Baker, portrayed by Katherine Langford, who leaves behind 13 mysterious audio recordings on cassette tapes after killing herself. An episode in season one originally depicted Hannah taking her own life.
The scene -- and some other aspects of the series -- drew criticism from mental health experts who have said it might pose a risk for young people struggling with mental health issues.
A Netflix official told CNN Monday that Hannah's suicide no longer appears on the streaming site.
"As we prepare to launch Season 3 later this summer, we've been mindful about the ongoing debate around the show," the streaming platform said in a statement. "So on the advice of medical experts, including Dr. Christine Moutier, Chief Medical Officer at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, we've decided with creator Brian Yorkey and the producers to edit the scene in which Hannah takes her own life from Season 1."
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and other organizations in support of the edit called it a "positive change" that mitigates "the risk for the most vulnerable teenage viewers."
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for American youth between the ages of 10 and 24, resulting in about 4,600 deaths each year, according to the CDC.
Suicide uptick occurred among teens and tweens following '13 Reasons Why,' study says
The rate of suicide among US boys ages 10 to 17 surged in the month after "13 Reasons Why" premiered in March 2017, according to an April study by the Nationwide Children's Hospital.
"We believe this edit will help the show do the most good for the most people while mitigating any risk for especially vulnerable young viewers," show creator Yorkey said in a statement on behalf of the show's producers.
Yorkey said it was their hope in making the show "to tell a story that would help young viewers feel seen and heard, and encourage empathy in all who viewed it, much as the bestselling book did before us."
He also said the show's intent in showing the suicide scene "was to tell the truth about the horror of such an act, and make sure no one would ever wish to emulate it."

Based on the book of the same name, “13 Reasons Why” is about a depressed high-school girl who takes her own life and sends a classmate a tape explaining why she did it and who she blames.

In the final episode of the first season—the story is told in flashback—the protagonist Hannah is shown slitting her wrists in the bathtub.

While a Netflix spokesman declined to comment, the company tweeted early Tuesday that, on the advice of medical experts, it decided to edit the scene from the episode. The show is produced by Viacom Inc. ’s Paramount Television unit, which supported the decision to remove the scene, a person close to the show said.

“13 Reasons Why” has been praised by critics but criticized by health advocates and some media watchdogs who fear it glorifies suicide. The show, which premiered in March 2017, is set to start its third season this year.

A study funded by the National Institutes of Health suggested that “13 Reasons Why” was a factor in a rise in teen suicides. The study found that the suicide rate among people 10 to 17 went up by nearly a third in April 2017, the month after the show launched on Netflix. Some school officials issued warnings and guidance to parents about the show.
