The Outsiders

violence

There are occasional fistfights, as well as sight of blood in the aftermath of a stabbing. We also see people threatening others with switchblades and - in one scene - a broken bottle. A character is shot, without strong visual detail, after deliberately threatening police with an unloaded gun in order to avoid arrest. A boy makes a passing reference to being hit by his father, and in another scene a man shoves his teenage brother to the ground during an argument.

sexual violence and sexual threat

There are scenes of sexual harassment in which teenage boys direct sexually suggestive comments at girls and one boy publicly pulls up a girl’s skirt to reveal her underwear. In another scene a boy tries to hold a girl while she struggles and protests, but he finally stops after his friends object to his behaviour.

additional issues: There are scenes of threat in which teenagers save small children from a burning building; one of the teens is seriously injured in the process, but the actual injury occurs off screen. Other issues include non-graphic suicide references and mild bad language ('shit', ‘ass’, ‘bastard’, ‘son of a bitch’).
