A sweet movie that touches on a lot of issues: Death of a parent, boy/girl friendship, feeling different, communication and death of a friend. Make sure your child is mature enough to handle the latter or this may not be the movie for them.

Basically, this is a sad movie, but I was able to watch it at a young age and it became one of my favorites. There isn't a lot of sexual content, like no actual sex just references, and there is not ever any shown violence from my recollection, just a reference to a very sad death of one of the characters in the film.
