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.

What the other person mention, and also towards the end a character does the same thing to a monster. This happens after the bleachers close in on the monster and the character grips the pen tightly in his hand.

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.
