Our High School Counsellor shares some important information and advice regarding a popular Netflix show which tackles very serious topics for our young people.
Last year 13 Reasons Why was released on Netflix; the series came from the young fiction novel by Jay Asher. The content of the series was very heavy; it depicted a very bleak picture of school life. The series explores themes such as suicide, self harm, sexual assault and bullying. The series was criticized by many working in mental health for young people as sending out a very negative message and not giving enough guidance on the topics explored.
Last weekend the second season was released; the reviews have indicated that a lot of the same content is revisited and therefore may be unsettling for some young people. Here at STA we wanted to bring this series to your attention as the timing is particularly sensitive, exams and end of school year tiredness means that the content may be triggering.
For more help and guidance on how to discuss the series with your child please see the resources below.

Please remember if you are concerned by your child or another young person in our community please reach out to the school counsellors or heads of year.
As part of the St Andrews Careers programme, Year 10 and Year 12 students had the valuable opportunity to hear from 20 industry professionals, including alumni, about various career pathways. The morning panel discussions provided insights into professional routes, required qualifications, and essential interpersonal skills for workplace success.
As Term 3 comes to an end, three senior students, Eleonore, Natalie, and Ananya, reflect on their experiences in the IB Diploma Programme at St Andrews International School Bangkok. Perhaps one of the most meaningful projects Ananya and Natalie took on during their senior studies was starting a foundation with a few other friends called Today4tomorrow – an initiative to provide opportunities to underprivileged girls in Thailand.
Congratulations to St Andrews senior student Natalie, who received an offer at the University of Bath to pursue a degree in Psychology. Have a read to learn more about Natalie’s perspective on the IB Diploma Programme and the endless possibilities that await her exploration.
Congratulations to senior student Ananya, who received an offer at University College London to pursue a degree in Politics and International Relations. We discussed her experience during the IB Diploma Programme at St Andrews and her ideas and aspirations for the future. Read on!
