What Parents Need to Know
About St. Elmo's Fire
Parents need to know that sex and relationships play key roles in the plot of this film. While the love-making scenes are respectful and discreet, there are some frank discussions about sex in the film. Scenes feature strong language, infidelity, acts of violence, and a suicide attempt. Characters sometimes drink in excess and behave badly as a result. One character has a cocaine problem that her friends address.

I saw this movie when I was about 9 years old and didnt like it. I thought it was going to be like breakfast club, but it was very different. Watching it now, I think it's a great movie. It deals with mature themes and there is drug use and sexual comments.
