At the start of each series, a banner dutifully directs the audience to a website with suicide prevention resources. But the likelihood that teenagers watching the show will pause to read the notice or follow its recommendations is slim. But educators and mental health professionals caution that youths are still watching. The show also fails to address mental illness, though it delves into cyber bullying, slut shaming, alcohol abuse and drunk driving. I hope that people watching this show will feel empowered to go to someone for help," said Hedrick.
