Unfortunately, teens today are hurting and facing challenges like never before—I see it in our youth group and in our local schools. TO SAVE A LIFE is rated PG-13 because it doesn’t shy away from tough topics. It deals with social divisions, school violence, cutting, suicide, teen pregnancy and divorce—not in a graphic way, but in a way that is authentic to many teens’ lives. And it points to a way out of these problems through faith and reaching out to others. Ultimately, it asks the question “What’s my life going to be about?” and dares teens to answer with boldness and honesty.
This movie is rated PG-13, so if your youth is under the age of 13, a permission form is required.
