Socially accepted no matter your political standing. Once again, the show perfectly (and painfully) captures what it was like to be that age, with all those emotions swirling inside you, not having any idea where to put them.The decision to have Erskine and Konkle play their younger selves, surrounded by a supporting cast of actual preteens, could so easily have been just a quirky gimmick. Painfully, this is something we can all relate to. After Maya and Anna have a dalliance with a boy at the school dance, gossip spreads and kids are calling them “sluts” by gym class. Anna’s parents’ ongoing divorce is still agonizing for her, while Maya stresses over having gotten her period. And so I’m hiding by myself watching these things. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.The comedic duo tackle slut-shaming, divorce, and maternal relationships in their sophomore season.Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle didn’t know each other in seventh grade, but by the way they play seventh-grade best friends in.“It’s funny, I wish I knew Maya,” Konkle says in her Zoom tile, wearing a green tulle blouse, as her dog, George, snoozes on the couch behind her.“I wish I knew you too,” Erskine gushes from her square, in a red ringer tee and gold necklace. And own the range of sexuality that girls and women feel. Maya can feel ignored by her mother while Anna gets far too much attention, being put in the middle of her parents’ constant fighting. “It was definitely weird,” she says of unpacking the memories. “I hated being ‘othered,’” she says. “It’s where we had all of our conversations, where I shared all of my problems, hopes, and dreams with her. A million thoughts swim in her head, but she's only able to string together a sentence that is half-English, half-Gibberish. Both use their mothers as a sort of emotional target practice, lashing out because they have no other outlet for their enormous preteen agitation.While Maya focuses most of her energy on her crush Brandt, Anna’s arc this season is really powerful as she struggles to find that outlet for herself. All the things that caused embarrassment for me as a kid now bring me immense pride.”.All the things that caused embarrassment for me as a kid now bring me immense pride.As Konkle and Erskine continue to delve into life at age 13, it’s important to make sure that their young costars are safe and comfortable filming the content. In Season 2, the microaggressions and racist comments continue, and so does Maya's shame. It’s not going anywhere.”.Let’s joke about the labia like we joke about hard-ons, y’all.This season introduces the ubiquity of slut-shaming in that time period, even for middle schoolers. This season, I repeatedly found myself forgetting that I was watching two adults. “And some of the ways you deal with it is by turning to your friends or trying to find different identities. Every product on this page was chosen by a Harper's BAZAAR editor. His performance acting opposite Konkle is profoundly moving.Vivian Kane (she/her) has a lot of opinions about a lot of things. The two have to navigate their budding sexuality in the judgmental, cruel, slut-shaming hellscape that is middle school.Both girls’ deteriorating relationships with their mothers also play a major role this season. Their young castmate Dylan Gage, who plays Gabe, has an incredible small arc that I really hope gets expanded on when the show returns with the second half of the season. In one episode, a friend laughs at Maya’s mother’s “really thick accent,” which is based a real high school experience. "In real life at this age, there were so many moments that subconsciously taught me to be ashamed of or to hide the Asian part of myself that it became second nature,” Erskine says.She was excited, though, to revisit tender moments with her mother such as the heartfelt discussions they’d share in the Japanese bath, which was fashioned after the one she grew up with.
