<P> The NASP statement also criticized the show's suggestion that bullying alone led Hannah to take her life, noting that while it may be a contributing factor, suicidal ideations far more often result from the bullied person having a treatable mental illness without adequate coping mechanisms . Alex Moen, a school counselor in Minneapolis, took issue with the show's entire plotline as "...essentially a fantasy of what someone who is considering suicide might have--that once you commit suicide, you can still communicate with your loved ones, and people will suddenly realize everything that you were going through and the depth of your pain...That the cute, sensitive boy will fall in love with you and seek justice for you, and you'll be able to orchestrate it, and in so doing kind of still be able to live ." Other counselors criticized the depiction of Hannah's attempt to reach out to Mr. Porter as dangerously misleading, since not only does he miss obvious signs of her suicidal ideations, but says he cannot report her sexual assault to the police without her identifying the assailant . School counselors are often portrayed as ineffective or clueless in popular culture, Moen says, but Porter's behavior in the series goes beyond that, to being unethical and possibly illegal . "It's ridiculous! Counselors are not police . We don't have to launch an investigation . We bring whatever information we do have to the police", she told Slate . </P> <P> In May 2017, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) along with the Centre for Suicide Prevention (CSP) released a statement with similar concerns to the ones raised by NASP . CMHA believed that the series may glamorize suicide, and that some content may lead to distress in viewers, particularly in younger viewers . Furthermore, the portrayal of Hannah's suicide does not follow the media guidelines as set out by the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP) and the American Association of Suicidology . CMHA and CASP did praise the show for raising awareness about "...this preventable health concern," adding that, "Raising awareness needs to be done in a safe and responsible manner . A large and growing body of Canadian and international research has found clear links between increases in suicide rates and harmful media portrayals of suicide ." Ways in which the portrayals of suicide may cause harm, according to CMHA and CASP, include the following: "They may simplify suicide, such as, by suggesting that bullying alone is the cause; they may make suicide seem romantic, such as, by putting it in the context of a Hollywood plot line; they may portray suicide as a logical or viable option; they may display graphic representations of suicide which may be harmful to viewers, especially young ones; and / or they may advance the false notion that suicides are a way to teach others a lesson ." </P> <P> One study found the release of 13 Reasons Why corresponded with between 900,000 and 1,500,000 more suicide - related searches in the United States, including a 26% increase in searches for "how to commit suicide," an 18% increase for "commit suicide," and a 9% increase for "how to kill yourself ." A review, however, found that it is unclear if searching for information about suicide on the Internet relates to the risk of suicide . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Award </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> Nominee (s) </Th> <Th> Result </Th> <Th> Ref . </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2017 </Td> <Td> Gold Derby Awards </Td> <Td> Breakthrough Performer of the Year </Td> <Td> Katherine Langford </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2018 </Td> <Td> Golden Globe Awards </Td> <Td> Best Actress--Television Series Drama </Td> <Td> Katherine Langford </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Guild of Music Supervisors Awards </Td> <Td> Best Music Supervision in a Television Drama </Td> <Td> Season Kent </Td> <Td> Won </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Imagen Awards </Td> <Td> Best Actor--Television </Td> <Td> Christian Navarro </Td> <Td> Pending </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> MTV Movie & TV Awards </Td> <Td> Best Show </Td> <Td> 13 Reasons Why </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Best Performance in a Show </Td> <Td> Katherine Langford </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> NAACP Image Awards </Td> <Td> Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series </Td> <Td> Carl Franklin for "Tape 5, Side B" </Td> <Td> Won </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Satellite Awards </Td> <Td> Best Actress in a Drama / Genre Series </Td> <Td> Katherine Langford </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Best Drama Series </Td> <Td> 13 Reasons Why </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Television Academy Honors </Td> <Td> Television with a Conscience </Td> <Td> 13 Reasons Why </Td> <Td> Won </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> </Table>
