Should your kids be watching 13 Reasons Why? 15 must-read articles to help you figure it out.

Okay, parents. Let's talk 13 Reasons Why and whether your kids should be watching it. Because, no doubt, your kids are doing just that. And now that it's been picked up for a second season on Netflix, the question about whether your kids should watch it won't be going away anytime soon. Now personally, I haven't watched the series yet myself because after checking with the Common Sense Media review (which has a suggested age of 16+) and talking with my own trusted parenting friends, I've decided my 11-year-old is too young. Also, we're getting word about entire schools sending out warning letters to parents, asking them not to screen with their young teens. Even the National Association of School Psychologists has issued 13 Reasons discussion guidelines for both educators and parents. That said, we always believe parents are the best judges of their own children's emotional readiness for tough topics, and that not every 7th grader is the same as every other 7th grader. So, here, I've collected 15 of the best articles I've come across about 13 Reasons Why to give you a variety of perspectives on whether your own child is ready for the show. Even if you don't read them all, know that the general consensus across the board seems to be that if you feel your tween or teen is ready, that you should definitely watch it together and be prepared to have a lot of talks about the tough topics it covers. Please note: If suicide, rape, or violence are triggers for you, some of the articles below may be difficult to read. If you or your child are experiencing suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 for help. Please.
