 In this 13 Reasons Why Season 2 Review, we're going to talk about why Clay sucks. Let's have some fun. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution. So in this video, I want to be a little bit more light-hearted. Yes, I know this is a fictional show and I'm going to be a little rough on Clay because he is a fictional character. All right, I'm all about love, compassion, kindness, and things like that. But I think there's some valuable lessons to be learned from Clay's character in 13 Reasons Why. In fact, in fact, I will be making some more videos. I think if you take a lot of the characters and a lot of the scenarios from this show and take them as learning experiences of what to do and what not to do, I think you'll get a lot more out of this show. But anyways, yeah, this entire time I was watching Clay, I'm just like, bruh, bruh. Let's get started. All right, I'm going to list a few reasons. So the main issue, the main issue, let's start it off with this. The main issue is that Clay is completely, completely self-centered throughout the entire season 2. First off, I mentioned this in my video about Skye. Clay in a relationship is probably the worst idea ever. He is extremely selfish and self-centered throughout that entire relationship. And the entire time, he's just me, me, me, me, me. Me, me, me, me. And by the way, this is why you really got to be careful about who you pick and choose to be in a relationship because Clay doesn't really offer Skye anything. If you go back and re-watch the season, I'm trusting you've already seen it because there's got to be spoilers, if you go back and re-watch it, what did Clay actually give Skye aside from his companionship? Think about that real quick. Go back and re-watch if you have to. Nothing. Clay is a taker. All of it is about him. He wants love. He wants affection. He wants attention and stuff like that. Even though he's not over Hannah and even when it comes to Skye's mental illness, like Skye almost died. She almost died and Clay is like, no, you need to stay here with me. Come on, Clay. Think about someone else but yourself. The next one is his relationship with Tony. Clay, you're killing me here. Tony is on probation for his violent beating of a man, and Clay is trying to get Justin to be on trial to rat out Bryce. That's what Clay wants. All about Clay, all about Clay's revenge, all about Clay getting justice for Hannah. There's multiple times where Tony's like, listen, Clay, I can't do that or I might go to jail. And Clay's like, I don't care, bro. You need to do what I want you to do. Like, really, Clay? Really? Like, I've never personally been to prison. Well, I did spend the night in a drunk tank one time in college. I haven't shared that story here on the YouTube channel. If you want me to share it, leave a comment down below. But anyways, I've never been to jail, jail. And I don't think Clay has either, but he really minimizes the fact that Tony might go to jail and or prison. And he just doesn't even care whatsoever. Clay is awful to his parents. He's awful. I found this tweet and I was just cracking up. Like, Clay, Yoze and his parents, and they give him a car. They give him a car. And his parents just ask for one thing in return. Just one small, small thing. Just be honest with us. That's it. Just be honest with us. So what's Clay do? He sneaks Justin into the house, has the guy detoxing in his room, doesn't even tell his family. But I think an overall lesson to be learned from all young people watching this series is like, talk to adults. Just talk to adults. Like this entire time when I was watching it and when my girlfriend was watching the first few episodes with me, I'm just like, I kept pausing it. I'm like, so many of these situations would be resolved or fixed if one of these characters would just go talk to an adult. But instead, they're trying to be like the Scooby-Doo mystery team. Sorry if you don't get the reference if you're a little bit younger. But they're trying to like figure out all this stuff by themselves. Like when Clay was getting like run off the road, tell your parents when Clay starts getting these like ominous like photos in his locker, tell your parents when people start getting like harassed and all sorts of stuff. Tell your parents, tell an adult, but rather most of the characters aside from a couple, like they try to do it on their own. And like Clay just constantly yells at his parents, he constantly lies to his parents, like straightened up Clay, be a better son. Next, back on the topic of self-centeredness, Clay really lacks impulse control. By the way, if you're new to my channel, go check the assortment of mindfulness meditation videos I have. This is why people need to meditate. Clay has no emotional regulation. He has poor impulse control and he goes out and releases the tapes. He releases the tapes. He is just emotionally going to burst. He's like, you know what? I'm releasing these tapes for everybody to hear. And you see like the next day, all the characters are like, bro, what are you doing? You know, and he's like, well, I guess I never thought of that. Well, no, Doug Clay, because all you do is think about yourself. This next one I covered in my video about Tyler, but like Clay is so honed in on Justice for Hannah that he does not intervene with Tyler at all. Like some of the other characters I give a pass, but Clay was the main character and that's one of my biggest gripes. But I understand the show. I understand the writing. I understand how they have to move a plot in a certain direction to keep it suspenseful and interesting. But like in real life, Clay should have been intervening. Clay waited until the last minute until he has a rifle pointed at his chest to start talking to Tyler and befriend him. Like Clay should have done that a long time ago. Clay should have done that when he saw Zach and Jessica telling Tyler to leave Alex's birthday party. Clay should have done that when he saw that people were still picking on Tyler. Clay should have done that when he went out shooting with Tyler and realized that Tyler is a little messed up. Like if you watch like constantly throughout the show, like Clay every time he gets one of his bright ideas with his poor impulse control, he just he takes off. He will ditch you so fast. Clay, you're a bad son and a bad friend. So the moral of this video is don't be Clay. All right. But anyways, anyways, I would love to hear your thoughts about Clay as a character down in the comments below. So go ahead and put them there.
