I'd only argue that Elijah Wood's character is made to feel/look insane by The Faculty towards his parents but that's kind of a stretch

Characters purchase drugs from Zeke. Later, Zeke's drugs are used as a weapon against aliens, as well as a test to weed out potential alien threats.

No, the student is of age and is mentioned to have repeated Grade 12 a few times. So it is an inappropriate power dynamic, but it isn’t pedophilia. The majority of the flirting also comes from the student.

No, but there’s an insensitive portrayal of a girl who pretends to be lesbian because she knows that she would be a social outcast and uses it as a “defence mechanism”. In the end, she changes her appearance to be more appealing to the male gaze and hooks up with the high school quarterback.

No, but there is excessive bullying of a male character, who is belittled (by both boys and girls), mocked by the coach, and physically abused. I'd love to see bullying as a category here, as I find it to be very upsetting.
