This is such a powerful, yet heartbreaking, book about the effects of bullying and how it can ultimately lead someone to commit suicide, or "bullycide". It also has wonderful resources at the end, including discussion questions about the book, as well as statistics about bullying and suicide and hotlines/websites for those who are being bullied or contemplating suicide. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is involved in education, especially at the middle/high school levels, as well as those who have children at that age, but I also think everyone could benefit from seeing this perspective. It'll make you think twice (or, it *should*, anyway) before using that derogatory term to refer to your friends when they do something stupid, or before laughing at someone because they're different than you. Five stars.

Thirteen Reasons Why (Possible Trigger Warning)
This book is one of my favorites. I'm pretty sure I cried throughout the whole thing; it's such an emotional read. You really learn about the characters, but the downside is that this book really makes suicide seem like it's a valid option because all this other stuff will happen. People will finally feel bad, miss her, etc. To me that's the wrong message to send, but I enjoyed the book nonetheless.

Better than suicide squad
I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie, I liked suicide squad but didn't think it was brilliant and I thought it would be a big mistake splitting harley from the joker, but I was wrong. This girl can really hold her own and was great to see she does have a softer human side to her too. The movie is filled with humour but also kick ass fight scenes. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from beginning to end and definitely recommend it to anyone.
