(2020). Sexual Objectification toward Hannah Baker and Her Responses in Jay Asher’s Thirteen Reasons Why. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Sanata Dharma. In the patriarchal society, a man places higher than a woman, and it creates gender inequality. Thus, gender inequality leads a woman to the issue of objectification. Objectification and feminism become the research object for the researcher to examine the sexual objectification received by Hannah Baker and her responses in the novel Thirteen Reasons Why (2007), a story written by Jay Asher. This novel depicted Hannah as a victim of male power. There are two objectives in this research. The first examines kinds of sexual objectification toward the female character Hannah Baker portrayed in the novel. The second discovers the responses of Hannah Baker toward the sexual objectification she received. There are several steps to achieve the objectives above. The approach used is the feminist approach. The theories used are objectification theory, feminist theory: sisterhood and solidarity, and radical feminism theory. First, close reading is applied for the primary sources, while sexual objectification toward Hannah is examined with the objectification theory. The second step analyzes Hannah’s responses in relation to the feminist theory: sisterhood and solidarity and radical feminism. The novel displays the example of traditional patriarchal gender and power relation. Hannah Baker’s relation with her male peers fulfill instrumentality, reduction to body, and denial of subjectivity. She shows three different responses to sexual objectification: apathetic, resistance, and no rejection. The lack of awareness toward sexual objectification makes her undertake an apathetic response. The realization that her value is reduced to a mere body makes her undertakes the resistance response. Lastly, the feeling of despair makes her undertakes the no rejection response. Moreover, the absence of sisterhood possibly becomes one of the reasons she gives up to provides resistance.

  • Please Be Aware of Some Concerns Over the “Thirteen Reasons Why” Videos That Have Become Available
    Please be aware of some concerns over the “Thirteen Reasons Why” videos that have become available. Article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/13-reasons-why-mental-health- portrayal_us_58f65f6ae4b0bb9638e70390 Also information from the Connecticut School Counselors Association: Dear CSCA Members, As many of you may have heard by now, “13 Reasons Why” a novel by Jay Asher, is now a series on Netflix. In this series, Hannah Baker, the main character, dies by suicide and leaves 13 cassette tapes outlining the 13 reasons why she did what she did. The series has a different tone than the book, and outlines in graphic detail, topics of suicide, rape, sexual assault, slut shaming and bullying. There have been many concerns about this series by several suicide prevention and mental health organizations about the content and graphic nature of the series. Concerns have also been raised about the lack of support that was offered to Hannah by the adults in her life, including by the school counselor. Unfortunately, the school counselor in this series is not portrayed in a positive light and may lead some to believe that is how professionals in the field may handle a similar situation. The series could be particularly troubling for students who may have already thought about suicide or whose mental health is particularly fragile. If students are going to watch the series, it may be best if they had an adult with whom they could process it with. It is also important for students to walk away understanding that there are many caring adults out there who will help if they find themselves in a situation similar to Hannah’s and they should seek out those supports.

Contact: [email protected] Suicide Watch: How Netflix Landed on a Cultural Landmine By Shabnaj Chowdhury In retrospect, perhaps it’s not surprising that Netflix didn’t seem to see it coming. A week before the first season of “13 Reasons Why” dropped on the streaming service on March 31, 2017, positive reviews began coming in from television critics. “A frank, authentically affecting portrait of what it feels like to be young, lost, and too fragile for the world,” wrote Entertainment Weekly’s Leah Greenblatt. The L.A. Time’s Lorraine Ali also gave a rave review, saying the show “is not just about internal and personal struggles—it's also fun to watch.” But then the show debuted, and suddenly the tenor of the conversation changed. Executive-produced by Brian Yorkey and pop star Selena Gomez, “13 Reasons Why” centers around the suicide of 17-year-old Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), a high-school junior who leaves behind a series of audiotapes she recorded, detailing the thirteen reasons why she decided to kill herself. Over the course of thirteen one-hour episodes, we learn about the events leading up to Hannah’s death, as she dedicates each tape to a person she feels has wronged her, including Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette), her friend, and whose perspective is interwoven with Hannah’s, offering two timelines between the past when Hannah was alive, and the present day, two weeks after her death.

  • 13 Reasons Why Rochelle Kruszka, M.A., LAMFT Youth & Family Therapist
    13 Things Parents Should Know About 13 Reasons Why Rochelle Kruszka, M.A., LAMFT Youth & Family Therapist 13 Reasons Why is a new, popular series on Netflix based on the Jay Asher novel by the same name. The series is centered around a high school student, Hannah Baker, who dies by suicide. Hannah leaves cassette tapes behind to let others know what were her “reasons” why she chose suicide, and what the individuals did to contribute to her death. There are some positive aspects of this show, but I also have many concerns about how suicide is depicted in this series. Here is what the show addresses well: 1) Bullying and “slut shaming.” This show highlights the impact that bullying, spreading rumors, and “slut shaming” can have on teens. Teens’ reputations are important to them, and rumors can spread very quickly (see #2). One of the great takeaways from this show is the importance of being kind to others and treating others well. 2) The impact of technology and social media. A picture can circulate throughout the school within minutes, and things that are sent cannot be unsent. A picture of Hannah, taken out of context, began her downward slide toward isolation. 3) Rape/sexual assault. The series shows that rape and sexual assault are a problem in high schools and that these crimes often go unreported. Victims don’t report for multiple reasons including shame, self-blame, fear of retaliation, and fear of not being believed. These scenes are unnecessarily graphic, which is also important for parents to know.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study According to World Health Organization (WHO), 800.000 people commit suicide every year. The average age is from 15 to 29. Suicide becomes the cause of 1.4% death in the world. It ranks at the 17th place for the cause of death. The 78% comes from developing countries around the world. According to Statista’s last update, in 2015, the crude suicide rate in Indonesia was 2.9 deaths per 100.000 inhabitants. It decreased from the previous update in 2010 which is 3.1 deaths per 100.000 inhabitants. However, World Health Organization (WHO) published the latest data in 2017, which stated Indonesia’s suicide rate is 3.00 per 100.000 inhabitants or population. Suicide death in Indonesia reaches 7,355 or 0.44% of total deaths. Indah Mustikasari writes an article on The Jakarta Post about mental health and suicide in Indonesia. According to her, Indonesia seems to have less suicide case than Thailand. However, many suicide cases are unreported, so the data is not 100% accurate. As Indonesia citizen are very religious, and that suicide is considered as a sin, the relatives are reluctant about reporting the suicide. This also happens because of the social stigma and taboos, which hinder people from talking about suicide openly, which is wrong. There are some suicide cases that being published (as a news) in Indonesia. One of the cases is about a student of SMP Negeri 2 Manisrenggo that committed suicide in June 2nd, 2017. The cause is the mom’s anger on her because the bad final score she got.

Woman Protestor 1 episode, Clay's a bit dull, and Hannah frustrates me to no end, and every other character is underdeveloped and one-dimensional. Teen drama Mystery Thriller. I would say don't be put off by any of the negative reviews you may come across, I dithered for a while over reading it, but I have to say it's a book that I did enjoy reading and I know will stay with me a long time. This is not the tragic story of a young lady that feels she has no way to improve her life: it's a revenge story. It presents suicide as a choice made by whiny kids who bring most of their problems on themselves and do it as a kind of revenge on the world. In many ways, Hannah is the evil twin of a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, but instead of living to breathe life into the dull main character, Hannah dies so that she can breathe life into the dull main character and, for all Asher's suicide-helpline advice, I couldn't help but see this as one great propeller of romantic and dangerous teenage myths.
