Mr. Asher,
I just finished your compelling work- THIRTEEN REASONS WHY. I'm a freshman in Highschool, 15 years old. I've been combating undiagnosed depression for about 2 or 3 years at this point. Im sure you hear this story alot, but please hear me out. I have, a few times thought about what the character of Hannah did to herself. I knew what I was going to do, not that I'd ever be have the ability to actually enact the plan. I knew, actually, that I would never get arround to actually doing it, which in a huge way, is a huge deal, but what ever.
That being said, THIRTEEN REASONS WHY changed my perspective on alot of things. I never before realized how a death of a random classmate can effect those arround them. I felt my self picturing Hannah's parents, how they'd react, how the people who knew Hannah, but didnt receive the tapes, how Clay must have felt, as well as all the people listening to the tapes. Never once did I think about that in terms of my self. I never thought about my parents, if i did, it would always result in: they're better off with out me. I never pictured my friends, or my girlfriend or my family, how they would feel, about how they played a part in my death. This book perhaps saved my life, along with the support of those arround me.
It really hits home to see the amount of people I know who told me that I matter. i never saw it untill i read this. I know this sounds slightly pathetic, but its true. Its true that I now fully understand the repercussions for my actions in this case.
I cannot begin to thank you enough.
Sincerely,
a reader
