From the reviews I've seen
It's kind of "high school reality show", where you are the focus. You go through a virtual highschool and have to deal with bullying. From whaty I've read, many times, you task is to protect other kids from bullys. There is of course, fighting in the game, but no blood, and no death. The game is rated "Teen" appropriately by the ESRI and "16" by the European equivalent.

This is the reason why so many peoiple deride Jack Thompson. He is a religious zealot, who's been suing the gaming industry (and LOSING) for years. In one state I beleive he even had his law license revoked for a year.

A parralel to this is the movie industry. The ratings in the movie industry are totally voluntary (most people don't realize that), and are the result of people crying over decency issues. The gaming industry has done the same thing with their ratings, yet people like Jack Thomson think that's not enough.
