Some people believe that the number 17 is a number that represents change however it’s usually swayed towards change for the better, either way:
17 minutes to call 911 could be argued as the point where Sarah’s situation “changed” from saveable to too far gone
I think as someone else said the ages are more for the plot points of what they can do legally I also think the ages of Hollyhock and Penny being the same could be done to drive home the point of how bad BJ’s actions were
When he realises he’s drowning obviously that’s a point for something changing
The arguing changed BJ and Diane’s relationship
17 voicemails until she changed and gave up
Could be nothing but it’s defo interesting
Could also be worth noting that XXXTentacions album 17 heavily focuses around depression and other mental health struggles much like the show and X claims it’s a number that means a lot to him but his reasons for picking that number are very personal to him so I doubt it’s related in any way
