Drugs
Analysis:
Drugs, yes, but also, how it can ruin life. M&M, by exemple, who was so young and had his life in front of him, and now it's broken, because of his bad trip and the sequels that they include. He had dreams, he had a future, but now, he'll never be the same again and might not be able to do what he want in life. As a good exemple, there's also Mark, wich not only his life his ruin because of drugs, but also the relationship he cherished the most. He went in prison and lost contact with the guy who was like his brother. Of course, Bryon have a part of responsability for this one, but if Mark didn't dealed drug at the beggining, all of this wouldn't had happen.

Growing up
Analysis:
Growing up is really represent by Bryon, with whom we can really see an evolution of his personality since he is in relationship with Cathy. I think the trigger for that maturity was Charlie’s violent death. He really realized that he's not a kid anymore and that his actions have consequences and that some of them can be really bad, like the death of someone. Also, love made him grown and he  became more responsible, to make Cathy love him more by making him see that he’s not a bad boy anymore.

Friendship
Analysis:
In That was then, this is now, friendship is demonstrated in many way. First, the one that Mark and Bryon have, which is more like brotership to me. We can see that this friendship is kind of "toxic". Mark is really possesive towards Bryon, and don't like the faacct that he's in couple with Cathty. Also, the friendship that Bryon and Mark have with M&M. They seem really protective towards him, making sure he doesn’t get hurt too much by life, given his young age.
