Definition:
Equivalent to a "PG-13" movie rating, the "T - Teens, Age 13+" rating means that there may be some instances of crude humor, adult language or cursing and casual references to using tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs. Mild sexual content such as innuendo, non-sexual nudity and partial nudity may also be included in the story. You can expect that the violence level of the stories and images may be more intense, and could include aggressive behavior, battle scenes and some blood and gore.
