There have been questions about a new Netflix miniseries called "13 Reasons Why," a show based on a book with the same title, by Jay Asher. It is a fictional account of a teenage character who dies by suicide. Please see the informational letter created by the Wake County Student Services Department to inform and alert you to concerns that points parents to helpful information to encourage a healthy discussion about the series.

Another social networking site: Ask FM
|
"The site lets anyone see details of boys and girls as young as 13, then post comments or questions. There is no way to report offensive comments."
"Recently the site has been the subject of several media articles regarding cyber-bullying. This was largely in response to widely-reported cases of anonymous offensive messaging and suicides apparently resulting from such bullying." To learn more about Ask FM check out the following |
