看来这个"十三"还真是热点啊。。。

 

刚接到的儿子学校的email:

Dear parents and faculty,
 
The SSO and library will be facilitating a discussion this Friday during free period for students to discuss their feelings around the popular and controversial Netflix series, 13 Reasons Why. This safe space for students will foster a conversation that allows them to voice their concerns and reactions to the show and will address areas of the show that have been deemed problematic and in some cases, the show’s alleged romanticizing of suicide. Staff will provide resources for students to identify where to seek help for themselves or loved ones for suicide prevention.
 
In addition to addressing concerns with the show, we will reinforce the message that suicide is never a solution and educate students on the warning signs to look for in peers.
 
The National Association of School Psychologists has provided the following guidance for families in discussing this show and its themes (the full article is attached to this email):
 
Guidance for Families
 
Ask your child if they have heard or seen the series 13 Reasons Why. While we don’t recommend that they be encouraged to view the series, do tell them you want to watch it, with them or to catch up, and discuss their thoughts.
If they exhibit any of the warning signs above, don’t be afraid to ask if they have thought about suicide or if someone is hurting them. Raising the issue of suicide does not increase the risk or plant the idea. On the contrary, it creates the opportunity to offer help.
Ask your child if they think any of their friends or classmates exhibit warning signs. Talk with them about how to seek help for their friend or classmate. Guide them on how to respond when they see or hear any of the warning signs.
Listen to your children’s comments without judgment. Doing so requires that you fully concentrate, understand, respond, and then remember what is being said. Put your own agenda aside.
Get help from a school-employed or community-based mental health professional if you are concerned for your child’s safety or the safety of one of their peers.
 
If you have any questions about this talk, please do not hesitate to contact us.
