The reasons are: drug taking may be shown in the film; also imitable behaviour may be shown which is unsuitable for the younger audiences because they would copy the action that takes place in the film. Examples like: hanging, self-harming, suicide, etc. Language may also be an issue because ‘15’ films use strong language such as ‘fuck’ ‘cunt’.
