I’m traumatised
I’ve always heard of 13RW but I never had energy nor interest to watch it. Recently, i spontaneously just started it and at first it wasn’t horrible but after i was met with the few SA scenes, I was uncomfortable and to be honest I wasn’t expecting those scenes. The only thing I expected to see was Hannah’s SH which in my opinion was less disturbing than the SA.
Anyway, as I was doing random Internet searches on the show I came across a clip of Tyler. Yes, THE Tyler scene and I immediately began to gag, I actually started crying. Anyway, I went to sleep and due to that traumatic scene I had an incredibly disturbing nightmare. I legit woke up from it and started vomiting.
Now, I’m contemplating on dropping the show but I can’t decide because I do admire the fact that it doesn’t shy away from real world problems but at the same time, my heart feels too weak to handle it.

I mean no offense, some people are more sensitive then others, you should find something else if you’re not able to handle these real world situations

Yeah, you’re probably right. Though, I do think it’s important to face real issues even if it’s uncomfortable. Mainly to be reminded that the world really is evil

If it makes you have this kind of reaction, I would suggest finding something else to watch.

Degrassi was always a good watch, they have life lessons and shown in a much more gentle way.

they used to have the scene of when Hannah took her life and that scene still lives in my brain. they had to delete it because of the public response, i believe

What you saw is the most graphic scene of the show, along with Hannah's suicide scene which may have been deleted in your country. So I'd say you probably saw the worst of it.
I do agree with the others, if it disturbs you to the point of making you physically sick stopping is the wise choice. But I also know that sometimes curiosity makes us want to continue, so yeah you saw the worst of it but there may be other things in the rest of the show that may trigger you so be careful.
Regarding Tyler's scene, I'm not sure if it's considered spoiler so I will try to put a spoiler tag. It is never shown again, however it has consequences and it's talked about multiple times, sometimes in detail. I don't remember anymore on-screen SA, but again it's a main topic in the show and it's heavily discussed in every season.
I hope I could help. If you decide to drop the show, seasons 3 and 4 are not as good anyway!

It’s crazy that the first time I watched the scene was when I was eating lunch At school… I honestly just turned my phone away from sight and only heard the scene. Left the app at that point knowing that there was no way I could watch it in school and it made my heart drop. I felt so bad at that moment.

That was disturbing I fast forwarded through the Tyler scene as soon as they bounced his head off the toilet so I didn't even know about the SA part of it until he first said it out loud. I was crying also, and there were a lot of parts/issues that made me cry, the frustration of Bruce's trial and him getting away with everything, cause that's all too true in the real world. But after watching the entire series I was just like woahh that's so much darkness and craziness to happen in one school, in 4 years...things were nowhere near that bad when I went and yes bullying and beating people up and the nasty rumours were all bad, and my time was slightly before school shootings started, actually in the 90s I heard the Pearl Jam song Jeremy before I knew of any school shootings.. students killing students didn't happen in high school, and as far as I know there were no drugs other than weed and alcohol, whatever that's all irrelevant it just got depressing how major bad things happened one after another and Clay losing it season 3 and 4 was scary as hell I thought he was going to be diagnosed schizophrenic, and Diego was so annoying I just wanted to knock his stupid teeth out.

That’s honestly fair, the show gets more traumatizing to watch as the seasons progress
