A little more than a week after the release of her new Netflix series 13 Reasons <\/em>Why, <\/em>Selena Gomez and cast membersAlisha Boe and Tommy Dorfman got matching tattoos that carry a powerful message. On Sunday Boe shared a photo of the three of them with their wrists held up to the camera, showing off their new ink.<\/p>\n "I have received so much love and support from all of you who are watching 13 Reasons Why. Today- Tommy, Selena and I got tattoos of a semicolon," she wrote in the caption.<\/p>\n Why a semicolon? The punctuation mark has come to symbolize hope for those who struggle with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicidal thoughts<\/a>. As Dorfman put it in his own Instagram post<\/a>, the semicolon means "a beginning of another chapter in life, in lieu of ending your life."<\/p>\n Project Semicolon<\/a> was started in 2013 by activist Amy Bleuel, who lost her father to suicide. Tragically, Bleuel, who suffered from mental health issues for more than 20 years, passed away from suicide<\/a> earlier this year.<\/p>\n The trio's tattoos are both a tribute to Bleuel, and an effort to raise awareness about suicide prevention. The plot line of their series follows high school student Clay Jenson as he attempts to understand why his classmate Hannah Baker chose to end her life.<\/p>\n <\/span>
