While the series may open important lines of communication between children and parents, experts say it also has the potential to increase risk for 'suicide contagion and copycats.'
It started as a bestselling novel aimed at teens.
In 2007, Thirteen Reasons Why, by first-time novelist Jay Asher, outlined the story of a 16-year-old named Hannah Baker. In the book, Hannah recounts -- from beyond the grave -- the high school gossip, humiliation, bullying, invasion of privacy, betrayal and sexual assault that led her to suicide.
In the spring of 2017, "13 Reasons Why" became an even more popular 13-episode series on Netflix.
