additional issues
A teen attempts to take their own life, but a friend intervenes and provides support to overcome their suicide ideation. There are sequences of self-harm involving a teen character, though these are brief and without strong visual detail. People discuss their mental health, and medications they are taking to address mental health issues. There are moderate sex references, including comic uses of terms such as ‘shag’ and ‘bang’. A brief fight scene sees a man intervening when he finds people beating up a victim, delivering punches and chasing away the attackers. A person uses an aerosol can in a dangerous manner. An upsetting scene occurs involving the accidental death of an animal, however this sequence is discreetly portrayed without gory detail. There are also references to death. Underage characters drink and smoke cigarettes.
