Judy Blume Forever

language

There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as implied strong language, and milder terms (for example, 'bitch', 'dick', 'fricking', 'shit', 'God', 'damn', 'hell', 'jerk').

sex

During a discussion on masturbation, there is a brief scene from a film in which a young man is discovered performing a sexual act with a fruit pie. There is brief buttock nudity. There are also verbal references to masturbation, sexual activity and orgasms; however, these lack stronger detail.

injury detail

There are brief bloody images in scenes from films which briefly illustrate how menstruation can be portrayed in the media as shameful or horrifying. One scene shows a teenage girl's bloodstained body and bathwater as she gets her period, whilst another scene shows a frightened teenage girl with a bloodstained body backing away from other girls in a school shower.

suicide and self-harm

In one section, a woman describes writing to Judy Blume describing her pain and isolation as a girl following her sibling's suicide. The woman states that she received a compassionate and supportive reply.

sexual violence and sexual threat

A woman briefly states that she was sexually abused as a child by her brother who subsequently took his own life.

theme

There are references to childhood bullying, as well as a clip from a film in which a teenage girl is bullied by another girl after getting her period, and in which the bully waves a tampon in front of the distressed girl. The film also contains references to mental health and abortion, as well as scenes of emotional upset, including to death and bereavement.

additional issues: The film contains brief sight of women and children walking behind barbed wire in a concentration camp, and there are also brief Holocaust references. However, there is no strong detail. There is a brief passing drug reference. In one scene, Judy Blume talks about receiving death threats. There are also scenes of smoking and alcohol consumption.
