Oliver explains his plan to poison the dog and burns the remains of the dog with Jordana. he doesn’t actually poison the dog and we only see the barrel burning, not the actual dog, but could be distressing.

Kids are seen getting bullied and picked on throughout the film, including the protagonist, but there doesn't seem to be any long-term abuse happening at home for any character.

The main character's father is on prescription antidepressants. Later in the film, the main character steals a handful and takes them all at once.

there’s a surreal scene where the main protagonist is briefly held under water by himself, but i don’t think any struggle is seen

it’s mentioned that a background character was stabbed by two students with compasses, his bloodied shirt is seen but even so the blood is fairly minimal

In one scene, a bully has Oliver in a chokehold. He can be seen gasping and clutching his neck for a few seconds afterward, but he is fine.

About 48 minutes in the main character spits on the front of a van out of spite. About two-three seconds and it’s dark and hard to see.

I don't know why there are five "no" votes for this.

It happens without warning but it's over quick. About 50 minutes in, Oliver stands up and says he's going out. Once he walks down the steps and stands in front of Graham's van, it happens suddenly but is over quick. There is visual and audio but if you skip about fifteen seconds once he is walking down the steps, you'll be fine.

someone has a brain tumor, we see little of the character experiencing it, more the family, and its discussed a lot towards the end.

there are some surreal scenes/moments, but i don’t think it’s constant enough to warrant a “yes”

the protagonist’s mother thinks he suffers from chronic delusions, and he knowingly feeds into the mother’s anxieties. i would say it’s unclear whether anyone in the film is mentally ill, but it is never explicitly mentioned

The main character is heard narrating throughout the film, musing on how his life would be like as a movie, and occasionally makes eye contact with the camera, but the 4th wall is never fully broken.

the word "Gaylord" comes up a dozen of times, it's up to you to decide whether it's hate speech

the actual act itself is not seen, but it is clear that it has happened, and the protagonist mentions it later in the film
