Surviving High School

Lele gets a black eye during tackle football, and bullies call her names at her school. Lele and Alexei flirt by playfully punching each other, but she often imagines violent scenarios -- such as beating up her enemies or her boyfriend for possibly cheating on her -- for comedic effect.

Teens flirt and kiss plus talk about hooking up and losing their virginity. Lele often fantasizes about Alexei.

Variations of "f--k" and "s--t" plus "bitch," "ass," "freak," "see you next Tuesday" (shorthand for "c--t"), "Jesus Christ," "hell," and "loser."

Teens drink alcohol at parties and at clubs, play beer pong, and smoke pot, plus there are references to cocaine and Molly.

Parents need to know that the famous Vine celebrity Lele Pons wrote Surviving High School with best-selling author Melissa de la Cruz. Inspired by her life and successful Vines, the Lele Pons character in the story tries to balance the challenges of high school with her rising Internet fame. Teens smoke, drink, talk about hooking up and losing their virginity, and use strong language including "f--k," "s--t," "bitch," "see you next Tuesday" (a secret way of saying "c--t"), and more. There's hardly any violence except for Lele's daydreams where she imagines beating up her enemies or her boyfriend for possibly cheating on her. The story may be predictable and references tons of brands, but teens will see the importance of celebrating their individuality and finding a healthy balance with media and technology.
