Ideas to discuss with your children Therefore this movie isn't suitable for children aged under 12 years and is best suited to teenagers and adults. The main messages from Mean Girls are that it's more important to be true to yourself than to try to fit into a group or conform to expectations that aren't right for you.
The New 'Mean Girls' Is Rated PG-13—And Yes, You and Your Tween Must See It. The new musical movie is your guide for discussing cliques, bullying, and social media with them.
As mentioned, the Motion Picture Association assigned a PG-13 rating to the film, citing “sexual material, strong language, and teen drinking.” And while the 2024 update (thankfully!) has scrapped the many instances of slurs used in the original, this one still includes some coarse language that you might not love ...
Films rated 12A are suitable for children aged 12 and over. However, people younger than 12 may see a 12A so long as they are accompanied by an adult. In such circumstances, responsibility for allowing a child under 12 to view lies with the accompanying adult. The 12 rating is only found on videos and DVDs.
Should I let my 11 year old watch Stranger things?
First, there is a ton of violence. Teens/tweens are brutally killed, their bones snapped, eyes gouged out, eaten by monsters etc. There is a terrifying possession scene is season two and there is an exorcism scene that is very scary. In season four, a group of younger kids are killed in a horrific massacre.
One character is made fun of for being a virgin. 3 characters admit to having sex with one person (before the events of the movie), and say they wish they had remained virgins. One character is shown making out with various guys throughout the movie (sometimes more passionately than others).
Adapted from Fey's 2004 blockbuster film and the Broadway smash hit, Mean Girls JR. is a fearless musical about chasing popularity and being true to yourself.
Sure, Mean Girls does not operate in the traditional sense of a horror film; and doesn't necessarily sit at that same table as films like Halloween or Scream. But it definitely has all the elements that make for a perfect scary movie.
Mean Girls is rated PG-13, which means that it is suitable for teenagers. In fact, some younger children may appreciate the story, but you'll want to head to theaters to see them. I'd say tweens will be alright with this movie, but anything younger and it's just not going to be that interesting for them.
Appropriate for all ages. Mean Girls JR is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
Parents need to know that Legally Blonde is a tongue-in-cheek comedy starring Reese Witherspoon as aspiring lawyer Elle Woods. While the story revolves around Elle finding empowerment in staying true to herself and her values, it does have some sexual references and stereotyping.
“Stranger Things did not introduce the 'f-word' until partway through its second season, but then used it six times in Season 2, and five times in Season 3, and nine times in Season 4,” the PTC wrote.
Wednesday is rated TV-14 for violence, fear, and profanity, which means it may not be suitable for children under 14 years old. Keep in mind that age ratings are simply suggestions — your child might be able to handle the show before age 14, or you may have a child older than 14 who finds it too scary.
It just depends on the kid—how easily scared they are, what other shows and movies their parents have allowed them to watch. I'm sure there are thousands or more. But the thing is, Stranger Things is still rated TV-14 and still has its share of language, blood, and horror-esque moments.
Kids between 8 and 12 are called “tweens” because they are in between children and teenagers. It's very normal for kids this age to start to move from being very close to parents to wanting to be more independent. But they still need a lot of help from their parents. Kids this age go through big physical changes.
Using any social network can be risky, but it's possible for kids to safely use the app with adult supervision (and a private account). TikTok has different rules for different ages: Users under age 13 can't post videos or comment, and content is curated for a younger audience.
The tween years are a monumental time of transition. No longer little kids, but not quite teenagers either, tweens experience significant physical and emotional changes in a short period of time.
Because of some of the content I wouldn't recommend the movie for younger children, but teens and upwards would get a kick out of the sweet romance. Otherwise, this is a great family movie for those of y'all who have older kids.
Much of the comedy in the original “Mean Girls” has held up incredibly well. But there are some jokes and story lines about race, sexuality and pedophilia that haven't, and they were altered for later versions.
