Yeah, kids is/was a difficult watch. But that's kinda what made it worth watching. Some really raw performances by young actors that deserve recognition at the very least.

I am glad I saw it as a young teenager. Probably every teenager should. It's traumatizing in just the ways they need in order to learn to be extra careful and also that not everything bad that happens to you is your fault even if you are.

I was a good bit older, but it really did hit hard for me, having recently had a friend die of aids when I saw it that first time. And I remember him being just as blindsided by it all as the main character was. Don't want to spoil it for anyone thinking of giving it a watch because of this post and comments, but it was a similar situation, just with my friend continuing on after the movie ends.

There's a lot of fucked up things in the world, and just like you said, your can be careful and still end up wrecked.
