We hope this infor-mation is helpful in con-tinuing our partnership

The purpose of this letter is to make you aware of a Netflix series entitled “13 Reasons Why,” that is gain-ing a lot of attention among American youth. The Center for Disease Con-trol reports that suicide is a serious public health prob-lem that affects even young people. For youth between the ages of 10 and 24, sui-cide is the third leading cause of death. It results in approximately 4600 lives lost each year. (Source: CDC) These facts are a con-cern to all of us --parents and educators alike. “13 Reasons Why” is a dra-matic series highlighting suicide and other graphic topics, to include sexual assault and bullying. This series premiered a month ago, already has a strong following in teen popula-tions, and has received strong ratings from media reviewers. However, it has also raised considerable concern among mental health professionals in the suicide prevention commu-nity. Specific concerns in-clude the glamorization of suicide, the lack of resilien-

cy building, revenge fanta-sies, and a disregard for the finality of death. We recommend that you closely monitor your child’s media activities and that you remain cautious about allowing your child to view this series. Rated TV-MA (Mature Audiences), par-ents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 to watch it un-attended. If your child has already viewed any portion of this series, we have in-cluded talking points that you may use in a discussion with them concerning sui-cide. In this respect, you may have an opportunity to discuss an important topic openly and with caring sup-port. Please make yourself aware of the suicide prevention resources available and familiarize yourself with suicide risk factors, warning signs, and protective fac-tors at DoDEA’s Suicide Pre-vention and Awareness webpage at: http://www.dodea.edu/

It is time for our final BOX TOPS Drive for the 2016-2017 school year! Please start sending TOPS in to school in ziplock bags. You can find sheets online to glue or tape TOPS too, but PLEASE no more than 50 Box Tops per page. Make sure that those TOPS glued/taped to sheets are not expired or missing any part of the expiration date. We do not count or accept those. We are required to have them in groups of 50, so even if you try to help us by taping your one, lone, 51st Box Top to the sheet, we have to try and careful-ly remove it without damaging it. (Damaged Box Tops don't receive points either.) The PTO will need volunteers on Monday, June 5th at 8:30am in the MPR to help count, sort, and cut all the Tops that are turned in! Kindly reply to this message to let us know to look for you. As always, little siblings are more than welcome to come help us too! Let's see how much money we can raise for KES!!! Spread the word!

13 REASONS WHY

www.save.org | www.jedfoundation.org

13 Reasons Why is a fictional story based on a widely known novel and is meant to be a cautionary tale.

You may have similar experiences and thoughts as some of the characters in 13RW. People often identify

with characters they see on TV or in movies. However, it is important to remember that there are healthy

ways to cope with the topics covered in 13RW and acting on suicidal thoughts is not one of them.

If you have watched the show and feel like you need support or someone to talk to reach out. Talk with a

friend, family member, a counselor, or therapist. There is always someone who will listen.

Suicide is not a common response to life’s challenges or adversity. The vast majority of people who

experience bullying, the death of a friend, or any other adversity described in 13RW do not die by suicide.

In fact, most reach out, talk to others and seek help or find other productive ways of coping. They go on to

lead healthy, normal lives.

Suicide is never a heroic or romantic act. Hannah's suicide (although fictional) is a cautionary tale, not

meant to appear heroic and should be viewed as a tragedy.

It is important to know that, in spite of the portrayal of a serious treatment failure in 13RW, there are many

treatment options for life challenges, distress and mental illness. Treatment works.

Suicide affects everyone and everyone can do something to help if they see or hear warning signs that

someone is at risk of suicide.

Talking openly and honestly about emotional distress and suicide is ok. It will not make someone more

suicidal or put the idea of suicide in their mind. If you are concerned about someone, ask them about it.

Knowing how to acknowledge and respond to someone who shares their thoughts of emotional distress or

suicide with you is important. Don’t judge them or their thoughts. Listen. Be caring and kind. Offer to stay

with them. Offer to go with them to get help or to contact a crisis line.

How the guidance counselor in 13RW responds to Hannah's thoughts of suicide is not appropriate and not

typical of most counselors. School counselors are professionals and a trustworthy source for help. If your

experience with a school counselor is unhelpful, seek other sources of support such as a crisis line.

While not everyone will know what to say or have a helpful reaction, there are people who do, so keep

trying to find someone who will help you. If someone tells you they are suicidal, take them seriously and

get help.

When you die you do not get to make a movie or talk to people any more. Leaving messages from beyond

the grave is a dramatization produced in Hollywood and is not possible in real life.

Memorializing someone who died by suicide is not a recommended practice. Decorating someone’s locker

who died by suicide and/or taking selfies in front of such a memorial is not appropriate and does not honor

the life of the person who died by suicide.

Hannah's tapes blame others for her suicide. Suicide is never the fault of survivors of suicide loss. There

are resources and support groups for suicide loss survivors.

Homeschooling in Germany “In 2008, the Ministeriums für Bildung, Wissenschaft, Weiterbildung und Kultur advised that it was the position of the State of Rheinland-Pfalz that the mandatory schooling provisions in German Law (that essentially prohibits home schooling) does not apply to US personnel stationed in Germany who are covered by the NATO Status of Forces Agreement. In 2014, we re-confirmed with the Ministeriums für Bildung, Wissenschaft, Weiterbildung und Kultur that this was their official position. However, the 86 Airlift Wing takes no position on the application of the mandatory German schooling law to US personnel and recommends that anyone wishing to home school their child(ren) consider discussing the matter with a private German attorney.”
