Technically no, but Tommy does go directly to Carrie's house to get her answer after he asks her to prom and refuses to leave until she agrees

There is a lot of lying around Carrie at the school, and the mother is very abusive and uses religious reasons to punish Carrie throughout the movie. (for real or perceived infractions)

Pigs get slaughtered, but it's not all too explicit (the camera is focused on the characters and not the pigs and the killing).

Along with the other comment, a teen boy repeatedly slaps his girlfriend when mad, though the girlfriend implies that she likes it.
Also, a female teacher slaps a panicked student in a well-intentioned attempt to help her "snap out of it"

It's possible that Carrie may have some sort of mental disorder or neurological disability (she is popularly speculated to be on the autism spectrum) and the abuse she suffers may hit close to home for disabled viewers; however there's nothing to confirm that she is disabled or mentally ill in the movie itself.

No but in a scene towards the end a lot of people get sprayed with a firehose and there is a close up of an unconscious character getting sprayed excessively in the face. Kind of "water boarding her" (its very brief though and lasts about 3 seconds max)
