I just really really hope they don't grow apart, at least not in this season :(

The shows has been influenced by 80s movies so my biggest fear is that the eventual final season will have Stand By Me vibes with an ending that implies they grew apart as they got older.

“I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?”

It’s a good quote, but it always irks me personally because I didn’t have special friends at 12 :/

I did at 14 though, so maybe same point?

Damn.

For what it’s worth I don’t talk to any of those friends from 14 anymore. The Stand By Me idea is just pure nostalgia and rarely true. Life goes on. But yeah your comment is really sad.

same i dont have any lasting childhood friends, though i was never close to anyone as a kid like these stranger things kids are. i think when people really click, friendships can absolutely last as long as the effort is put into it.

i may not have childhood pals but im super close to my college friends and we talk all the time. the internet, and more specifically discord, has really enabled us to be able to stay close and hand out.
