Okay? You decide.
I am eleven, and my parents allow me to play this game as long as I don't play it in front of my grandparents. There is mild violence, but there's no blood, and fights don't end in death or KO, they just end in your opponent feeling sore and giving up. There isn't really sexual content at all, unless you're concerned by kissing (characters make out). The language isn't a huge issue, but there is some. For example, if you pass a class sometimes he'll say "D-mn, I'm good!" and there's a mission titled "That B-tch" (the word is never said). I gave it a "Good Stuff" for Educational Value because there are mandatory classes where you have to do academic challenges (such as in games like "Brain Age" and "Big Brain Academy"). Overall, I think parents should decide weather their child is mature enough.

Grand Theft Bicycle.
I really like this game. It's really fun, but pretty inappropriate. You can you can give girls flowers and then kiss them, while kissing a girl, you can hear kissing sounds and slight moaning. I have not gotten to any part where you can kiss a boy, but I'm sure it happens. Sexual references and calling a boy "girl". Violence wise, you can beat up anyone you want, but there is no blood or gore. When you finish Chapter 1, you can go into town, and that's where you can beat up more people, steal bicycles (which makes this game more like Grand Theft Auto.) and you can get arrested. This game has plenty of bad messages. It also includes drinking, smoking, and drug references, though drugs are never seen or used. The good things about this game are few, but they are there. You can defend the nerds from the jocks, The game is easy to play, and you actually need knowledge of subjects to complete some of the classes. Though in biology, there is some gore, but it's all animated and not that bad. Violence 5/10 Graphics (they are horrible) 4/10 Sexual content 6/10 Language 5/10 Ease of play 7/10 Alcohol references 6/10 Educational value 6/10 (Surprisingly Educational. Overall, though it's not really extreme, you might want to look into this before your kid plays it.

Great game but not good for youngsters.
Bully is real fun. The violence is not suitable for some ages though. You can puch or kick and beat up people. You can use stink bombs, firecrackers, sling shots, water ballons, etc. Some language including bi***, he**, da**. A few sexual remarks, there is a mission where you go into the girl's dorm and steal their things for a teacher. A panty raid. There is a mission where you take pictures of a women. The role models are pretty bad. Jimmy beats up pretty much anybody but in the end he does help the school by beating up Gary and getting him kicked out. Not very many positive messages come out of this game. But T rating is good, dosen't need a M. Otherwise this game is fun.

Tweens and up, Small children might want to hold off a while
I love this open world game. Their is actually some educational value because you are in a school setting but that's about it. You play this game for fun and because you know you wouldn't do the stuff in real life. There is bad language pretty constant throughout the game. Alcohol and cigars are seen. Sex is limited to kissing(Straight or Gay) and the ability to sneak in the girls dorms. Violence can be unleashed on anyone with pretty much anything thats non-lethal wether they be kids, students, or cops. This game is fun to play and it's up too you whether you want this in your home or not, but I personally think tweens and up will love it because it reminds them of their school a little bit.

Got Boring
I loved this game when i first got it, and then i got really bored with it. So i never finished it. There was some language, the violence was the most innaproprite, you could assault the staff members. But it wasnt that great

This game is really fun.I have beatin it and not seen any blood except in you bioligy class where you disect a frog. There is just mild swearing and in the sexual themes one of your missions is to take pictures of a not fully clothed girl and kissing guys and girls. you dont kill anyone but once you have beatin your oponent they just fall on the ground and roll like there sore. You can stuff kids as well as preficts wich are like school enforcers into trash cans and lockers its pretty fun. You can or you dony have to go to your classes which can be fun or not. Well overall its a pretty fun game and i recomend it for (13+).

Violent High School Sim
I really enjoyed playing this game, I will begin by saying, parents, this game is made by the same people who made Grand Theft Auto. This game is, for whatever reason, nothing like that. This game is bloodless, and in some cases perverted but nothing quite to the extent of Grand Theft Auto. There is no killing, but you can punch, bully, harrass, and tease little kids, teens, and adults (Yes, this means cops and prefects) however, if caught, you get into some trouble. I would like to call this game Grand Theft MoPed.

very good game
jimmy is a trouble maker, he bullies alot and causes trouble but at the end he saves the school so its not that bad you can go to class which is a little hard but not too much also a teacher drinks alcohol on school grounds but he quits later in the game i would say this is a very good game that is good for 9+

Perfect for Teens! Not so good for 12 and down.
A great game. I got it two days ago and I beat it with ease. It contains many curses ranging from Hell to Bit-h, but there is now Sh*t or F-Bombs. It also has a lot of fighting, but there are no deaths or KOs at all. Your opponent simply can't take it anymore and lies down on the ground very sore. The classes you take contain educational minigames. But, the characters are very mean and a little crazy, so they are not good role-models. No real positive messages and there is a lot of kissing and a part where you have to take a photo of a not fully dressed girl, but other than that this game is good for a mature thirteen year old and up. :)

BEST GAME EVER!!
This game simply shows how to have FUN. I like it just a pinch more than Grand theft Auto. But I do not see how people compare it to Grand theft Auto. There is a lot of action, but it's not like that's a bad thing .And swearing just shows how a normal teen is.

STOP judgeing the title!!
The game has some violence. Stop thinking that you always play as a bully. You can stop loads of guys being bullyed you can help them and fight off the bullys. Some parts are educational in the lessons like geography and maths . Think the parents should stop judgeing the title and if your kids want this then let them get it.
