To be honest I don’t blame her peers(with the exception of Bryce walker who raped her, and Justin who sexual assaulted her,) or parents I blame Hannah. All Hannah did through this her tapes was throw everyone under the bus. When really she had all the resources for help in reach. Hannah could have gone into the school counselors office and discloses the rape, but she being evasive, and setting the counselor up to fail. To show Mr. Porter really cared he refused to answer any calls and devoted himself entirely to listening to her. He tried to get her to open up more or to disclose the name of the student. But by this point in the story, Hannah had already made up her mind and she was justifying her decision to herself. After she shuts the counselor away she stands outside the office to see if he chases her down the hall. it seemed like she was shutting everyone out and finding her own justice. This show is simply helping all Hannah Baker’s out there, Would you really wanna kill yourself after seeing this
