suicide and self-harm
A teenage girl attempts to take her own life by cutting her wrists in a bathtub. We do not see any cutting or the wounds, but there is sight of bloody bathwater and drops of blood. We see a hanging body's dangling legs and a girl's arm hanging from a car window in a fume-filled garage. We are told about several other characters' suicides in an undetailed way. There are other verbal references to suicide as the actions of these characters are discussed.
additional issues
We see teenagers passionately kiss and caress one another; sex is implied but there is no sight of nudity. There is verbal reference to a 14-year-old girl having sex with teenage boys. A teenage boy smokes marijuana. Teenage characters drink and smoke cigarettes. There are scenes of emotional upset and bereavement. Moderate bad language includes the terms 'bitch' and 'Jesus'.

suicide and self-harm
There is a suicide theme, as well as scenes in which a teenage girls attempts to take her life by cutting her wrists in a bath, accompanied by brief bloody detail. There are also descriptions of other suicides, including references to suicide methods and brief partial sight of a person who has taken their life in a fume filled garage. However, suicide is not glamorised, promoted or condoned by the film as a whole.
additional issues
There are also moderate sex references, a sex scene which lacks strong detail, and mild bad language.
