Partly. While it incorporates some elements from real experiences, it also takes creative liberties to make the story more engaging and dramatic for the audience.
Well, it's not a straightforward true story. But it does draw on common experiences and real-world problems to make its points and engage the audience.
Partly. 13 Reasons Why incorporates real-life themes and problems, but the specific plot and characters are fictionalized to drive the story and engage the audience.
The 13 reasons are related to the reasons a character in the story took her own life. Each reason is like a link in a chain of events that led to the tragic outcome. For example, bullying could be one reason, betrayal by friends another. It shows how small actions and words can have a huge cumulative impact on a person's mental state.
I'm not sure specifically which '13 reasons based on true story' you are referring to.

But without more context, it's hard to detail all 13 reasons.

It's not based on a true story. The plot and characters were developed specifically for the series. However, it does touch on some real-life issues and emotions that many people can relate to.
