(*Updated April 22, 2017)This list is meant to serve as a guide to information related to both the book and the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. Some articles do contain spoilers, which is helpful to parents and teachers who have not yet read the book or seen the series. My hope is this list will open the very important dialogue with families and with students who may have watched, read or be curious about the story.
I have categorized them as to who the articles might be best suited for. I welcome suggestions to this list in the comments and I will continue to update this post.
