Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

  • Anne kicks a man in the shin by one point when he won't let her leave (in an attempt to persuade her of something) and she instantly apologizes.
  • A teenage girl faints in class and is shown with a bloody nose.
  • Two girls are riding on a double bike when another girl uses a stick to make them fall completely over. No injury is sustained.
  • Two teenage girls get into a fist fight. One girl tackles the other girl to the ground and throws dirt in her mouth.

Profanity

  • There are two or three uses of "What the heck?"
  • "Good Lord" is uttered at one point. There is also one scene in which a couple of girls seem to be saying "OMG", only others are talking over them which makes it less noticeable during the first viewing.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Adult drinking and smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • There is a firecracker explosion in a classroom. Nobody is hurt, but one student faints.
  • A main character becomes seriously ill with scarlet fever. That character is seen in bed, looking very sick and near death.
  • A teenage student places a live snake in her teacher's desk. There is a lot of screaming when the desk is opened.
  • A little girl is locked in an outhouse by two male classmates when she threatens to tattle on them for something. She is pounding on the door and crying until she is rescued by her teacher.
  • Reflective of the time period, a schoolteacher raps one of her students on the hand three times when she behaves badly in class. We don't see any wounds - just close-ups of the girl's face, and she is very close to tears. The rapping sound is pretty loud.
