As someone who actually was directly involved in a similar situation in my formative years I find some of the complaints levied at this show absolutely ridiculous. People can and will fall into depression for a myriad of reason's (seriously what is it with the no true scotsman bullshit) and yes popular people can and will get bullied too. Popularity is a precarious thing in any kind of school setting and not every bullying victim is a picturesque ugly duckling with no social life. Depression can make people internalize their despair, making it invisible to those around them while also putting them in the mindset that their problems are insignificant, irrational or unimportant to the people around them. I'm not even going to get into the distinction between depression and clinical depression and why the fact that a few of you are conflating the two is pissing me off. The show was good. It managed to tackle one of the most cliche-ridden and repeated teenage-story premises of all time and actually go somewhere meaningful and interesting with it.

Baudolino posted:My only complain is that they made Clay too much of a saint. His guilt was completely irrational. Survivor's guilt among friends and family is actually very common in cases of suicide. It's that lingering feeling that you should have seen the signs or that you could have done something different that triggers it.

No. I would say the article is very off-base and the author seems to have an ax to grind.

It's not like there's an actual argument to be had when you haven't actually watched through the show. You quite literally don't know what you're talking about.
