SUBURBIA is a US drama in which a group of teenagers feel ostracised by society.

sexual violence and sexual threat
There is a scene in which a woman is forcibly stripped and humiliated for some time by a group of men in the audience, while others stand around and laugh. In another scene two men grab a young woman and rip off her shirt, exposing her breasts. They threaten her and her friends, calling her a 'whore' and saying that the next time they'll do more than rip her shirt. A teenage girl reveals that her father used to beat her, with sight of the scars on her back, and also tells another character that he molested her.
additional issues
There is a scene in which a wild dog grabs a toddler and thrashes around with the child in its mouth, killing it. There is also a scene in which a child is fatally knocked down by a car, with sight of blood. There are several fight sequences in a club, one of which features a character stabbing another in the back with a knife. There are images featuring sexualised nudity, use of strong language ('f**k'), and other terms such as 'bitch', 'asshole' and 'slut'. There are also instances of racist and discriminatory behaviour, including homophobia. A character overdoes on drugs, and there are references to suicide. There are scenes in which characters shoot wild dogs, and in a sequence in which a character picks up a dead cat in the road and later throws it into a person's house, and another sequence in which a man puts a live rat into his mouth, although it does not appear to be harmed. There is frequent use of alcohol and tobacco, and some drug misuse.
