While Ronaldo is pretty much a rebel to every societal norm you can think of, heck the kid's a "Planty"! Ultimately their personalities clashed, and their friendship broke because of it. Hopefully they'll be friends again, provided the love triangle they have going with Sadie doesn't evolve into something Spider-man level...oh please don't let it go that far. Practically everyone vies for approval from their peers. But Lars is taking it the wrong way. He's making his peers shape his personality instead of him shaping his own. In the flashback and in certain scenes, Lars does actually have a good side but his fear of disapproval from his like-minded peers causes him to act cool, to the point where he comes off as rude and a total prick.

Ronaldo on the other hand, does not care what most people think of him and just does whatever he wants. He doesn't like to be chained by the norms people put around the definition of normal. In a way, this is good but in another, people tend to stay away from him and label him as a wierdo because they have clashing views on normality. True, but I think that will make the friendships he does get more meaningful. If people can't see past the mask of weirdness, then its their loss. He's like Eggs and ramen, I thought it was a weird dish for a while and avoided it. Then I put an egg in ramen one day- AND MY LIFE CHANGED FOREVER!
