Thirteen Reasons Why.....Does this text contain relevance for a modern audience, or is it dated?

In the novel Th1rteen R3asons by Jay Asher. I have learned so far that this novel is about a girl named Hannah Baker who commits suicide but before she does that she makes tapes of her voice telling thirteen unlucky people how they played a role in her death. These thirteen people must listen to all these tapes, rewind them back and send them on to the next person on the list but if anyone fails to send the tapes on then somehow these tapes will get released into the public’s hands.

               

I feel this novels text contains relevance for a modern audience because it shows the depression a young teen named Hannah Baker feels. Her depression caused by those who were closest to her or who went to her school ultimately causing the reason for her death. Even today we see stories like this on the news how young teens are being bullies by their peers causing them to make rash decisions to make their pain stop.  An example of this would be Phoebe Prince who happened to be a new student at South Hadley High School in Massachusetts who was also mercilessly tormented by her peers causing her to go home after school on January 14 and hang herself from a stairway in her home. This novel and these stories on the news show you this is a real thing that happens to real people every day. That there are people who commit suicide to escape the troubles or torment placed on them by others.
