Honestly, I'm the opposite. I find "and they all stayed friends forever" endings to be incredibly unrealistic because... most people don't, especially when you're young. You grow and change and find out you don't have that much in common anymore and that's fine and totally natural. I'm still in contact with a bunch of the people I went to high school with but I would not call us "friends" because we all want very different things out of life now.

Meanwhile, the people I AM still friends with more than ten years later are the ones I met post-college when we were all grown adults with our own lives and goals and wants pretty firmly established by that point. We have not changed that much and so our friendships have not changed that much either. But when you're a kid? Yeah, you're going to change a LOT.

Agreed. I'm still in contact with some of my high school friends and younger, but that's more out of nostalgia for our old friendships. We're not close now and we're not really a part of each others' lives. That's one of the reasons why I thought the ending to Stand By Me was so touching and realistic - it acknowledges that people naturally drift apart, yet also acknowledges the childhood friendship aspect of it.
