violence
Moderate violence is impressionistic, depicting undetailed punch-ups and shootings. A teenage girl is tricked into drinking bleach, resulting in her death.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'). There is more frequent moderate bad language ('bitch', 'pussy', 'slut', 'whore', 'screwing'), accompanied by other milder terms ('shit', 'bullshit', 'son of a bitch', 'balls', 'ass', 'asshole', 'piss', 'crap', 'dick', 'son of a bitch', 'frickin'', 'butt', 'hell', 'Jesus', 'God' and 'damn'). There is use of the middle finger gesture.
sex
Two teenage characters have sex, with a focus on theatrical thrusting movements. There are also crude verbal references to sexual activity, such as beastiality, oral sex and masturbation. Pornography is also mentioned but references are undetailed.
discrimination
High school students express various discriminatory attitudes towards other social groups, including the LGBTQ+ community. Discriminatory terms include 'homo', 'fag', 'sissy', 'pansy' and 'cripple'. The work as a whole does not condone discriminatory attitudes.
drugs
There are verbal and visual references to drug taking, such as joint smoking and cocaine use. Addiction and overdose are talked about in a metaphorical sense. There are also scenes of teen partying and drinking.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A female student is trapped by two male students, who attempt to rape her, but she manages to escape. In a later scene, the female student takes revenge by luring the two boys with the promise of sex and they strip down to their underwear.
suicide
A series of murders are disguised as suicides. The narrative satirises the response of the teachers and how the issue is misinterpreted by some students, inspiring one girl to attempt to take her own life. In one scene, a character feigns her own suicide. The work as a whole does not condone or glamorise suicide.
theme
There are scenes of bullying among high school students belonging to different cliques, often leading to scenes of emotional upset. Insensitive comments are made about a girl's eating disorder.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
