yes :( pedophilic comments by a teacher about a student during a dance. another teacher reproaches him but he just doubles down.
~10 minutes later, at the end of the homecoming awards ceremony, he refers to another student as “hot.”

two teenagers are in a chronically on-off relationship, breaking up and getting back together every week or more. the girl in the relationship seems to be manipulative, jealous, and only wants the boy when they are broken up. the boy in the relationship seems to be passive, isn’t really into her, and doesn’t care that she’s so on/off.
i guess some people could construing as technically cheating when the boy gets together with someone else right in front of the girl, but i saw it more as just an obvious message to her that he’s breaking up with her again.

At 1:16:51, Bianca does on a date with Toby Tucker. When she says “I tried to keep my composure”, fast forward. It’s very brief but there is audio and a vomit seen.

While there is discussion around the term “DUFF” (designated ugly fat friend), the person who first used the term insists that it’s a word that no longer actually means “fat” (or ugly.) When she says “you just called me fat and ugly!” he replies that he would never call anyone fat or ugly. he seems genuine, like the type to only be cruel on accident.
she is rightly indignant about the term, her friends also reject it when she eventually talks to them, and the filming doesn’t try to make her seem fat.

There are no slurs. There are instances where characters are insulted with words like “fat”, “pig”, etc however

No, but the possibility of a large age gap is mentioned. One character says they would date a thirty year old (they themselves are probably 16-18), and later in the movie an adult teacher makes inappropriate comments about students.
