Violence & Gore
-

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- There are lots of drugs and drinking a teacher is seen using cocaine several times and another teacher almost dies from drinking a blue liquid.

- 2 girls are seen smoking weed. They say "do you realize how many medical benefits Mary Jane has? We don't deserve her." The Mary Jane they are talking about is Marijuana.
- In Class Fight, you can see that Crybaby's mom is lying on the floor. There is also a bottle, a glass and a cigarette stub on the floor, implying that she was smoking and that she has passed out from drinking too much alcohol.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The movie can get dark at times and a bit intense as well, but nothing is too extreme a few violent and 'gory' scenes are featured in the film (see violence and gore section) as it can be considered as an eerie musical.
- One of the main characters suffer with an eating disorder (Bulimia). This may be triggering to some viewers.
- The is a scene where a girl Is shown vomiting in a bathroom stall.
- The messages that are showcased in the film can be seen as frightening and disturbing, as the film takes on many dark themes like pedophilia, corrupt people in power, prescription drug use, eating disorders, etc. Although, some are done in a way where it isn't outright disturbing, and a lot of themes are depicted through metaphor rather than it being outright obvious.
- transphobia is shown; a professor at the school is seen to be a man transitioning into a woman, but is not accepted by the staff. the headteacher says "i can't let you influence the children with this ridiculous behaviour," and when they say they want to be addressed as 'miss harper' a professor laughs. they then go onto firing them and then calling them 'mr harper'. this could be upsetting to trans viewers as they mis gender them many times and don't support them.
