drugs
There is infrequent teenage misuse of marijuana. In one scene, a character clearly condemns drug misuse and does not accept an offer to share a joint, however, they decide to partake in another brief scene. There are undetailed, brief references to dealing marijuana as part of a wider, cautionary tale. The work as a whole does not promote or condone drug misuse. A woman experiences an accidental prescription drug overdose which is falsely believed to be a suicide attempt.
additional issues
There are infrequent sequences in which a man sexually harrasses a teenage girl, commenting on her appearance. However, the scenes are brief, negatively presented and have a reassuring outcome. Infrequent strong language occurs (‘f**k’), as well as milder terms such as ‘ass’, ‘asshole’, shit’, ‘dick’, ‘piss’, ‘bullshit’, ‘bitch’, ‘freaking’, ‘screw’, ‘God’, ‘damn’, and ‘hell’. There are frequent scenes of emotional upset and references to bereavement which are dealt with frankly but sensitively. Mild sex includes kissing and a discreet and infrequent implication of sexual activity. There is also brief use of archive footage of a plane striking the World Trade Centre during the 9/11 terror attacks, but the footage does not feature sight of casualties. There are infrequent scenes of risky and imitable behaviour in which two teenagers successfully cross a ladder which has been suspended at height between two buildings. This behaviour is clearly disapproved of by the work as a whole.
