Not stalked, but the protagonist kid is chased by other kids. It's heavily implied they would beat him up if they catched him.

The main character's mother is a drug addict and she acts erratically, yelling at the main character, hassling him for money to buy drugs, and being otherwise negligent.

A child is taught how to swim by an older father-like figure. This includes holding his body in the water while he learns to float on his back.
There are a few scenes in which the main characters holds his face in cold water but its to reduce swelling in an injury and not as a form of selfharm

Character wearing grills takes them out to eat. Not a tooth damage but I have a general dental squick and it squicked me a little bit, like someone taking out a retainer would.

There’s a swimming scene in which the main character at the age of 11 or 12 is taught how to swim. However, it’s a safe and consensual scene - there is a shot of him floating on his back while an older found-family figure holds his body up

a character describes having sex with a girl at school in detail and this scene is later seen in the main character's nightmare with no nudity but noise (moaning and etc.) and thrusting movements. there is an implied sex scene between the main character and his love interest at a beach, no nudity, some noise. a woman is implied to be a prostitute and characters discuss her job.

To be fair, masculinity (both toxic and positive) and how it pertains to black men is a central theme of the movie.
