Higher Education (2013)

Fairly mild

One quick view of a teenage couple moving under the covers of a bed in a party scene.

Some kissing.

Brief crude dialogue with some sexual/anatomical expletives.

Shirtless teenage boys are seen in some of the dorms and shortly in a hot tub with bikini-laced girls at a party.

Moderate

SPOILERS

Several people are briefly punched, pushed, shoved, slapped, or verbally threatened.

Multiple shots of teenage students sniffing crushed Adderall pills. Momentary and non-explicit, but still might seem graphic to some.

One character throws up in a toilet.

A teen boy references to having violent thoughts.

The side effects to Adderall are mentioned and entail increased chances of aggression and violence (the likes of which are purposefully foreshadowed).

Strong and consistent

Constant use of f**k and it's derivatives.

Other uses of sh*t, ass, bi*ch, p***y, and more.

VERY STRONG

The whole film essentially revolves around the underground distribution and consumption of Adderall pills by and to high school students. We are shown the details, deals, products, and ingestions.

Multiple quick and non-explicit shots of students crushing the pills into lines of powder and sniffing them. The aftermaths are shown occasionally with white powder residue on the student's philtrums. One notable addict is a teen boy around the age of 14-15.

Multiple teenagers are seen drinking beer and hard alcohol in a party scene. Some of them are depicted as drunk or passed out.

Several characters are transiently seen smoking cigarettes.

One character is notorious for his substance abuse and is seen passed out the morning after in school (played for laughs).

Some teenage talk of parties, drugs, and booze.

Other intense moments involving physical threats (the protagonist and his friend threaten to break the arm of a sloppy distributor, and get close), hostile confrontations, and the negative effects that come with dealing and consuming drugs.

A final possibly uncomfortable subject for teen viewers could be the film's anxiety-inducing theme of being accepted or rejected to college (preferably the one of your choice) and its emotional impact.
