I think that Hannah Baker had a major change in her life to end up killing herself. I know it all started with her first kiss from Justin. Everything after that was like a snow ball affect. One thing happened which led to another thing and so on. When I think about all the ‘thirteen reasons why’ (well, the ones I have read so far) I would never expect them to be a snow ball affect. I feel like Hannah put herself into some of these. For instance with Courtney. If I were Hannah and knew what was going to happen before she decided to go to the party, I would not have even thought about going. Hannah said she knew that when they got to the party, Courtney was going to leave her. And what happened, she took of with other people and left Hannah alone. My thoughts about this are that if you know something is going to happen, then WHY do it. Sometimes people just do not make any sense to me. Why would you what to do anything that you know is going to hurt you. I know I would not do that. Also, I would not do anything like this because I have been hurt in the past and I do have trust issues, so if I know that someone is going to back stab me, I try to avoid the situation. Also, there had to be some other reason to add to all of this to trigger her to kill herself.

I think after we finish the novel we're going to want to spend some time discussing how much of Hannah's pain could have been avoided. In other words, was the suicide inevitable because of something inside Hannah? Maybe the actions of the others made the problem worse, but were they the real cause? Because we don't really know Hannah as a character, we have to guess.
