The Netflix show is wildly popular with teens, and they are talking about it. But parents need to step in.
In short, if there’s a teen in your life with access to Netflix, he or she is probably watching or at least talking about “13 Reasons Why.”http://www.startribune.com/there-s-no-reason-to-buy-13-reasons-why-imagery/419505493/
