Can someone explain a little further about the guidelines concerning the suicide/drinking
. Is it not allowed to exist at all in the story or can it be included but with no props and no details ?

I believe it can be in the story with props. As long as it doesn’t “promote suicide, self-harm, abuse, or bullying, excessive alcohol, tobacco or drug use”.
Suicide:
a. There can’t be detailed or clear descriptions of suicide/self harm (I guess it has to be vague and ambiguous)
b. You can’t show suicide/self harm as “feeling good, being a relief, or a means of escape”
c. Can’t show blood, wounds, gore or bodies resulting from suicide
Drinking:
a. You can’t describe or show active, ongoing drug, alcohol or tobacco use by characters who are under the age of 16
b. No graphic/explicit/detailed descriptions or glorification of the use or effects of drugs, alcohol or tobacco
c. No glorification of an addiction to drugs, alcohol, or tobacco
