means suitable for all. if the film is rated u then it needs to be suitable for 4 year olds and over. the bbfc must have a positive framework and should offer reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threat and horror these film can't include: Nudity, Sex, Drugs, Strong Language, violence, threat and imitable behaviour

  

 general viewing but some of the content in the film may not be suitable for young children the content in the film shouldn't unsettle a child from the age of on wards otherwise unaccompanied children may watch but its ups to the parents depending on whether they think it will upset or disturb the child, discrimination, drugs, imitable behaviour, nudity and threat allowed at all and sex, language and violence is mildly allowed.

   this is not suited for children under the age of 12, no one under the age of 12 are not allowed to see a 12A film unless if accompanied by an adult, no discrimination and imitable behaviour but there is moderately allowed to be sex, nudity, violence, drug use, threat and violence.

 No one younger than 15 may see a 15 film in a cinema. No one younger than 15 may rent or buy a 15 rated video work. The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour, although there may be racist, homophobic or other discriminatory themes and language. Drug taking may be shown but the work as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse (for example, through instructional detail). The misuse of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances (for example, aerosols or solvents) is unlikely to be acceptable. Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied. Whether the depiction of easily accessible weapons is acceptable will depend on factors such as realism, context and setting. There may be strong language. Very strong language may be permitted, depending on the manner in which it is used, who is using the language, its frequency within the work as a whole and any special contextual justification. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context. There may be nudity in a sexual context but usually without strong detail. Sexual activity may be portrayed, but usually without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour, but the strongest references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context. Works whose primary purpose is sexual arousal or stimulation are unlikely to be acceptable. There may be strong threat and horror. A sustained focus on sadistic or sexual threat is unlikely to be acceptable. Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but the depiction of sexual violence must be discreet and justified by context.

 no one younger than 18 may see an 18 film there is allowed to be sex as it educates them and that's when sex education is learnt where the material is in breach of the criminal law, or has been created through the commission of a criminal offence where material or treatment appears to us to risk harm to individuals or, through their behaviour, to society. For example, the detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts, or of illegal drug use, which may cause harm to public health or morals. This may include portrayals of sadistic or sexual violence which make this violence look appealing; reinforce the suggestion that victims enjoy sexual violence; or which invite viewer complicity in sexual violence or other harmful violent activities where there are more explicit images of sexual activity in the context of a sex work (see below) or where the primary purpose of the images in question is sexual arousal In the case of video works, which may be more accessible to younger viewers, intervention may be more frequent than for cinema films.

Summary

 Most short films have a similar traditional mainstream release, but certified by bbfc even if they're just planning to show on youtube, we have decided to go with the age rating of 15 due to some people at the age of 12 not understanding how schizophrenia works or what it's about, there may be things such as drug use and swearing.
