I can assure you that the devastation her suicide inflicts on her family and friends does not make suicide seem "easy" to anyone with a conscience. I've also read comments that say it makes suicide look "cool." Again, very far from the truth--at least in the 8 episodes that I have seen. The girl in question is so sweet, smart, beautiful, charming--it's just really hard to watch at times and to see how she was treated at school. As Masterlu said, it needs to be told.

The writer/director do a fantastic job of integrating the past and present.
