I think you missed the point. The demons are a personification of their inner urges. The arguments the kids have with them are a metaphor for how confusing and awkward it can feel to balance those urges with outwardly trying to appear "normal" at that age.
I got the point. My issue with the show was the constant over-sexualisation of minors. Almost every single episode was "main character, 11yo boy, jerks off in most inappropriate places/in most inappropriate ways, gets caught, learns life lesson".
The issue isn't even the excessive masturbation, but the excessive need to depict it. First time funny, second time funny, third time (we're still in the first episode!) eyebrows get raised, but when he's jacking off on-screen for the 50th time and we're barely halfway through the first season, now that makes me think "hey maybe the writer's not so disguised fetish is watching kids masturbate"... and that thought isn't really without reason, is it now?
