It’s striking how many of the characters mirror my own traits; when considered across the entire show, **it feels like a direct reflection of myself.** That's something **I truly appreciate.** The instant I understood that the series resonated so closely with my experiences, **it provided me with comfort and security.** I felt disappointed to finish the new season so quickly—I’d been looking forward to it for quite some time—and not even leave my chair. I would love to **be able to forget what happened and rewatch both seasons** from the start. Some viewers have begun downplaying the hardships faced by the younger characters, but I believe that's completely unfair because the series addresses sensitive topics like **eating disorders, self-harm**, and **the process of understanding one’s sexuality**, including initial acceptance and then finding the courage to share it with others. Even Nick **struggled repeatedly with revealing his truth** within the narrative. I think viewers should approach the show with sensitivity because there's a character who believes he is worthless, another who can’t speak openly about herself due to her family’s prejudice, and **a transgender character.** Similar to Tara, some people find it challenging to **accept their lesbian identity both internally and externally.** All of the characters are very young, and they didn’t do anything to warrant experiencing such difficulties. They don't deserve these struggles.
