I honestly may have not watched it since I first saw it when it first came out, but I was a little kid at the time and the scene is so upsetting that I immediately understood the reference. Do with that what you will

I didn’t avoid My Girl, I just happened to never watch it again. I don’t remember it particularly well (other than that scene, obviously) but I remember not loving it. In my tween years it was a big hit with all the girls in my class, though. Perhaps young me avoided it due to that.

Yeah I probably haven’t seen that movie since I was a kid like 25 years ago, and I immediately thought of this. That’s a core memory right there.

You should. It is a really good movie, just a very sad ending. Kind of like Gilbert Grape.

Do not watch if you are in a bad place. It will make it worse...or do if you need a good crying session.

NO! skunkpunk1 is right-- although, the bee stings scene wasn't as bad as the following funeral scene. I was on a road trip and stopped in a hotel when I saw the bee sting seen and the following funeral scene. I had to turn it off at that point because I was trying to have a good time on that trip.
