The term "PG-13" refers to a film rating assigned by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) in the United States. It stands for "Parental Guidance-13," indicating that some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Parents are encouraged to provide guidance, as the content may include mild language, violence, or suggestive themes. Films rated PG-13 may contain scenes that are more intense than those in a PG (Parental Guidance) film but are not as extreme as those in an R (Restricted) film. This rating helps parents make informed decisions about what movies are suitable for their children.
