It would be a 15 because it would include:
All of the following:
- strong violence
- frequent strong language
- discriminatory language or behavior
- drug taking
Occasionally there may be uses of the strongest terms (e.g. 'c***'), depending on the manner in which they are used, who is using the language, its frequency and any special contextual justification. There may be racist, homophobic or other discriminatory language, and the work could explore themes relating to this. At 15 violence may be strong. It should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury, however, and the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable.At 15 drug taking may be shown but the work as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse (for example, through instructional detail).
We consider the risk of potential harm to impressionable teenagers. For example, dangerous behavior such as hanging, suicide and self-harming should not dwell on detail which could be copied.
Whether the depiction of easily accessible weapons is acceptable will depend on factors such as realism, context and setting.
