The teenage characters do (or attempt to do, or almost do) a variety of extreme things throughout the film. At the beginning of the film, a group of girls remove a boy's shorts/swimsuit and hold him underwater in a swimming pool, nearly drowning him. A girl finds herself in the apartment of a suspicious young man after running away from home. He slaps her at one point, but she leaves without coming to further harm. A boy chases a girl though a school; the culmination of this scene looks like attempted rape. The boy stops himself after ripping the girl's shirt.
