The series is extremely powerful and does raise the point that conversations are needed about how youth interact with and treat one another, but it can also evoke a wide range of feelings and responses. If you or someone you know and love is struggling with suicidal ideation, please know that this series may not be suitable to watch without appropriate processing and necessary coordination of care.
