There is no sexual content. A female character wears school-appropriate skirts, but the film contains no nudity, sexual activity, or suggestive language.

Violence is minimal and non-graphic, consisting mostly of emotional outbursts. Characters occasionally grab each other's collars in frustration, and one boy is briefly threatened with a punch that never connects.
