Three young non-native girls dress as Native Americans while playing (wear headbands with feathers) and say they’re going to ‘scalp’ their sister.

A main character has a lung disease, she smokes briefly and coughs a lot as a result. She often looks unwell and short of breath.

Not on screen but two of the three main characters are orphans, and their parents deaths are discussed quite bluntly.

Arguably yes? A few times teenage characters get very worried about their/their family’s future and cry

A character has a stroke and appears to be dead. It’s only later we find out they survived.
