I need this film

I’m looking for a movie I once saw, maybe on HBO Go. It’s about a boy with long blonde hair who meets a girl—she has dark hair, maybe black—possibly at the beach. They get to know each other, but both become heroin addicts. The boy ends up stealing money from his younger sibling to buy heroin.

 

I think the boy was a student at first but started attending school less and less as his addiction worsened.

 

At the end of the movie, the boy manages to quit heroin with the help of someone connected to the girl, but the girl doesn’t manage to quit.

 

The actors weren’t very famous, and the film had a raw, realistic feel.
