Scenes of bullying and mistreatment can be little upsetting or heart-breaking for some.
Scenes of abuse towards Sara are highly disconcerting. She is starved, slapped, kicked, thrown around, and left deathly sick for hours. She is constantly tormented by those in power at the school. If you're not a fan of watching child abuse, you should stay away. This is a very intense show.
Becky is often beaten for various things, usually for defending Sara or working too slowly. The students are forbidden from speaking to her, and subsequently Sara, meaning they can only watch when the two girls are abused, or face their own punishment.
