But they did not really go into any other factors for her suicide other than her greivances against those 13 people, so IMO, it seemed like revenge of some kind was the motivation for her suicide

You said it perfectly. And the way she disclosed her friend’s rape so publicly (after failing to try and stop it) was no better than any of the things others did to her, EXCEPT the rape and how the counselor treated said rape.

Agreed

In the book she overdoses on pills.

I read that, too and that was my problem with the show.

I will look into it and report back.

A lot of suicide prevent specialists said the show itself, not just the death scene, was problematic. Apparently when young suicide is glammorized or discussed often on the news, there is an increase in the suicide rates of teens/young adults.

I watched the last few episodes with my roommate and I thought they did try to make the suicide scene as dramatic/explosive/etc as possible with the tub overflowing with blood and water.

And the crush on her part would be understandable, but the fact that he was okay with dating/marrying someone he tucked in at night is creepy.

Very true. And his ties weren’t held together with scotch tape.

It’s not that they met when she was 12, it’s that he used to tuck her in at night that creeps me out.

He tucked her in at night when she was like 12...that is the part that creeps me out. He goes from putting you to bed like a parent to your sex partner.

Burn!!!!

I only know that from news articles from when he was basically saying he wanted to assassinate Obama. He is fucking awful and the fact that Huckabee can pal around with Nugent, but thinks Beyoncé is a “bad influence” tells me everything about his “Christianity.”

Agree 100%

Obama can wear anything and look amazing and the fact that the tan suit looked meh on him proves (to me at least) that they aren’t a good look.

Personally, I thought the tan suit was a bad choice fashion wise, but it had nothing to do with disrespect. And I don’t think tan suits should exist, I don’t think anyone looks good in them.

Michelle Obama is a national treasure and the best dressed First Lady ever.

That is fucking disgusting. And the fact that Mike Huckabee is totally cool with Nugent but thinks Beyoncé is problematic is just insane.

And people don’t understand the expense and emotional toll that the adoption process can have on adoptive parent. People throw that out there without thinking.
