Each of the people listed are the subjects of Hannah Baker’s tapes and what they did to her that made her end her life.

1. Justin Foley: Justin Foley is the first reason why Hannah Baker commits suicide.

Justin first meets Hannah while he’s still dating Hannah’s best friend, Kat. After Kat moves away, Hannah and Justin spark an interest with each other. When Hannah wants confirmation from Kat to date him, she expresses permission for Hannah to go for it. After a flirtatious game of cat-and-mouse, Hannah eventually meets up with Justin at a playground where they have their first date. As Hannah is going down the slide, Justin takes a photograph with a flash of Hannah's underwear as she's coming down the slide. After the date ends, Justin shows the photograph to Bryce and his other friends. Bryce takes the phone from Justin and sends it to the school; causing rumors of Hannah most of Liberty High to label her as a slut. While Justin did not send the photo around school personally he did nothing to stop the rumors of Hannah from spreading, instead he opted to spread even more rumors instead of protecting Hannah from the harsh ridicule she faced.

2. Jessica Davis: Jessica Davis is the second reason why Hannah commits suicide.

Jessica Davis (along with Alex Standall) was Hannah Baker’s best friend when she began Liberty High. She and Hannah were both new and Liberty High’s guidance councilor thought it would be a good idea for them to rely on each other since they didn’t know anyone. This ended up working out as they both shared a sarcastic sense of humor and instantly became best friends. During a trip to a coffee shop known as Monet’s they spotted another new student named Alex Standall who was watching them. The two decided to befriend Alex and the three became inseparable. That is until Jessica & Alex began dating in secret and started drifting away from Hannah. When Hannah found out she was upset that they didn’t tell her when she would have been fine with them dating. After a refusal to have sex with Alex, he and Jessica broke up, though Jessica didn't know why he chose to end it. However, after Bryce Walker and a few of his friends started a ‘Hot or Not’ list that detailed who had the best and worst features of the female student body Alex contributed to the list in an attempt to get back at Jessica for rejecting him by placing Jessica’s name under the section listing Jessica as having the worst as of the sophomore class and placed Hannah Baker as the best ass. When the list was spread around the school Jessica discovered that Alex was the one who added the section. Jessica was understandably upset but she jumped to conclusions and assumed Alex chose to end their relationship because he cheated on her with Hannah or Hannah had sex with Alex while they were dating. Jessica angrily accused Hannah of this at Monet's and refused to listen to Hannah's claim that Alex made the list on his own (which was true as he made it deliberately to spite Jessica for her refusal to have sex with him). She called Hannah a slut and slapped her on the face after Hannah said "Fuck you". Jessica's words and action in that moment were what marked the end of their once strong friendship as she started to believe into the rumors of 'Hannah the Slut', which were never true. Completely breaking Hannah's heart.

3. Alex Standall is the third reason why Hannah commits suicide.

As previously stated; Alex, Hannah, & Jessica were best friends when they began attending Liberty High. During a trip to a coffee shop known as Monet’s Hannah & Jessica spotted another new student named Alex Standall who was watching them. The two decided to befriend Alex and the three became inseparable. That is until Jessica & Alex began dating in secret and started drifting away from Hannah. When Hannah found out she was upset that they didn’t tell her when she would have been fine with them dating. After a refusal to have sex with Alex, he and Jessica broke up, though Jessica didn't know why he chose to end it. However, after Bryce Walker and a few of his friends started a ‘Hot or Not’ list that detailed who had the best and worst features of the female student body Alex contributed to the list in an attempt to get back at Jessica for rejecting him by placing Jessica’s name under the section listing Jessica as having the worst as of the sophomore class and placed Hannah Baker as the best ass to spite Jessica and get back at Hannah for how she reacted to the two of them hiding their relationship from them.This action ultimately led to Jessica confronting Hannah at Monet's because Jessica thought Hannah was responsible for Alex breaking up with her, and she insulted and slapped Hannah. This completely ruined Hannah and Jessica's friendship and Alex's contribution to the list also led to Hannah being sexually harassed by Bryce and numerous others at school, all the while boosting his own popularity.

4. Tyler Down is the fourth reason Hannah Baker commits suicide.

Tyler initially started out as an acquaintance of Hannah and even used her as model for some headshots. Tyler developed a crush on Hannah, however he was too shy to tell her his feelings in person. When the photo of Hannah’s underwear began circulating Liberty High Tyler was completely oblivious to the incident (possibly because he was an outcast and didn’t have much friends. and so having no way to receive the photo of her underwear.) When he found out too late about her photo Tyler came to her house with a few of her headshots in an attempt to cheer her up. When he came to her house he saw her with someone dropping her off (unaware that it was Clay at the time.) When Hannah went inside and started to text someone Tyler was amazed at how beautiful and real she was and wanted to capture her. He took a few photos of her which caught Hannah’s attention but quickly ran off before she could see him. Since then he started stalking her and took more photos of her without her consent, which completely frightened her. Hannah, after believing she was being stalked told Courtney about her stalker. She volunteered to help Hannah catch her stalker by setting up a trap at Hannah’s bedroom window. As they waited they began drinking a bottle of wine from Hannah’s liquor cabinet and started playing truth or dare. After Hannah dared Courtney to take of her shirt, Courtney in return dared Hannah to kiss her. The kiss, while started out as playful turned into a full on make out session. Tyler witnessed them and tried to get in closer so as to take a better picture. However his camera went off and Hannah & Courtney spotted him causing him to flee the scene. However he was able to get a photo of Hannah and Courtney kissing, evidence of Courtney being a lesbian. Hannah personally confronted Tyler at school and demanded the photos he took and all the negatives, which he gave to her. Tyler attempted to ask Hannah out but she just laughed and left. Out of spite, Tyler spread the photograph of Hannah and Courtney to the entire school, causing Courtney to turn her back on Hannah for a time.
