Parent Verdict

Built entirely around graphic suicides shown on screen, self-mutilation, and trauma — content that can be genuinely harmful for vulnerable teens, not just scary. Its viral marketing made it a teen sensation, but this is firm 17-plus territory. Parents of teens dealing with mental health struggles should be especially cautious.
