The things students had done and said to her had started the snowball effect. Her ball of problems was getting bigger and bigger as people carelessly did awful things to her. Clay noticed this throughout the story. Everything Hannah had a problem with when she was alive, had added to her pile of deep psychological trouble. Her problems that she had towards the end of her life were evident on the tapes. She started to think about suicide and what could happen if she decided to take that extreme. She even tried to seek help for one last grasp of hope from humanity, but it ultimately had just solidified her reason for why she should kill herself. The tapes ended with Hannah saying she is sorry and that even though some people cared, it was just not enough (Asher, p. 280). All this had impacted Clay in a way that made him learn from Hannah and help a girl who seems like she might be suffering like Hannah did. The story ends with Clay calling out her

Salinger related Holden’s feelings in regards to depression and loneliness, which was also expressed in the show by multiple characters. Yet, Holden reflects off the character, Clay, in 13 Reasons Why, the most, rather than any of the other characters. Clay and Holden have been struggling from tremendous losses of loved ones in their lives. This incident then contributes to their attitudes later in the stories. Although, 13 Reasons Why is mainly based off of suicide, this still integrates with the theme of loss of innocence in The Catcher in the Rye because of this loss of life due to immature bullying conducted in the show. Therefore, Clay’s frustration expressed on other peers in the show was caused by his loss, similar to Holden, which then altered Clay’s judgment, or in other words, the descriptive opinion of Holden’s famous interpretation known as everyone being “phony.”
