Later that night, Selena grabbed dinner with the cast of her new show 13 Reasons Why – including Tommy Dorfman, Christian Lee Navarro, Dylan Minnette, and Katherine Langford – where she opened up about what the show means to her.

“What 13 reasons why has represented was an authentic story of what every kid deals with in every day life. The pressure, the unrealistic expectations of what they believe they should be. Whether you have read this book or not, it’s a story of what every kid does and will continue to go through – unless we keep talking about it. People are hurting and deserve to be heard. Tired of others portraying a false idea of what every day life is. I hope @13reasonswhy can enlighten people to what words mean when you say them,” Selena captioned her below post.
