LOS ANGELES - Suicides by young Americans rose by almost a third in the month following the 2017 streaming debut of popular Netflix television series “13 Reasons Why,” in which a teenage girl is shown slitting her wrists, a U.S. study showed on Monday.
It also said rates of suicide for 10- to 17-year-olds were higher in the months following the debut, resulting in an additional estimated 195 suicide deaths from April to December 2017 versus expectations based on past data. The graphic scene caused a backlash among parents and health professionals, prompting Netflix in 2017 to put up additional viewer warning cards and direct viewers to support groups.
