Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret

Use of very mild bad language occurs (‘Jesus’, ‘God’, ‘damn’, ‘hell’).

Adolescent girls frequently discuss kissing boys, getting periods and their desire for their breasts to grow. They sing a comic chant in the hope it will increase their bust sizes. In one scene, they giggle as they study an illustration of male genitals in a scientific anatomy book. They later look at a topless centrefold in a pornographic magazine but no nudity is visible. A 12 year old girl is gossiped about and rumoured to be promiscuous because she is more physically developed than her peers. The attitude towards the girl is condemned and characters’ later regret their behaviour towards her. A boy briefly mocks a girl because of her small breast size and characters kiss on the lips.

A woman becomes tearful as she describes her parents’ antisemitic attitude to her marrying a Jewish man and the disapproval of their interfaith relationship. There is a reference to them saying she will go to hell if the marriage goes ahead.

An older woman jokes about farting in her sleep.

A man accidentally cuts his finger on a lawn mower and there is very brief sight of blood in the aftermath. A girl has sore blisters on the back of heels after wearing shoes without socks.

Scenes include mild emotional upset from family disagreements about religion and faith as well as from the trials and tribulations of puberty and growing up.
