language
There is moderate bad language (‘prick’, ‘wanker’), as well as milder terms such as 'bastard', 'bloody', 'piss off', 'sods', 'shite' and 'tits'.
sex
There are occasional sex references, including the boasts of a recent school leaver about how his job as a window cleaner allows him to see "tits, bum, fanny, the lot" and how he’s "done it" numerous times. It is implied that photographs of a naked woman are available for sale, but these are not shown. There is also some jokey discussion between male teachers about receiving love poems from their teenage pupils, while they eat cakes that are shaped suggestively like breasts. One teacher warns, "You’ll get put away", but there’s no suggestion anything inappropriate is actually taking place between teachers and students. A group of teenage girls talk about boys, wondering if one of them is still a virgin. One of the girls makes a gesture that refers jokingly to penis size.
discrimination
There are examples of outdated sexist attitudes, such as men wolf-whistling teenage girls and men disparaging young women as being physically incapable of playing football. A teenage boy pretends to be interested in a teenage girl's personality whilst sneaking a look at her chest. The film does, however, portray its young female characters as being consistently cleverer and with more maturity than their male counterparts.
nudity
A group of teenage boys watch, from a distance and through a window, as a nurse removes her bra while getting changed in her bedroom. The breast nudity is brief.
rude humour
A boy picks his nose.
alcohol and smoking
There is occasional smoking of cigarettes by teenagers, which reflects the times in which the film was made.
