One of the major critiques of season 1 has been its handling of suicide, with many people, even some fans, thinking it glorified suicide. To avoid further controversy in season 2, the writers are making a concerted effort to give audiences the info and tools to deal with both bullying and suicidal thoughts. This will happen not only in the warning, companion site, aftershow, but also within the episodes themselves.
