there are a few characters who are tasked with “keeping tabs” on the main characters, for either morally neutral or malicious purposes.

On one particular scene, one of the main character's physically abusive father tries to manipulate him into believing he hasn't really been abused and that no one would believe him.

One of the main characters has emotionally abusive parents, with a father who is physically abusive as well. His home life and childhood trauma are mentioned throughout but there is only one scene where the physical abuse is described in detail and it can be very upsetting to read.

The end of the third book involves dead animals sort of coming back to life, but imo it's not graphic or disturbing.

the author has confirmed that the accused character did not sexually touch the other. he took a photo of his own genitals with the other person's phone and sent the image as if he was the other character.

a kid (16-17) also dies “on screen” in book 2, but it’s described in rather vague terms

a dream/vision version of another character dies “on screen” in book 3, but the real version of that character is fine

One of the main characters is made to enter a car at gunpoint on the first book. In the second half of the series describes with some level of detail his experience of being kidnapped as a child. In a later scene he's forced to enter a car and believes he's being kidnapped again.

It's complicated, but could definitely be read as such.
A girl begins acting romantically towards one of her friends while involved with another (though she doesn't kiss either of them). After breaking up with her boyfriend, she and the first boy begin a relationship but keep is a secret as to not hurt her ex's feelings, since they're all close friends, and they frequently mention feeling guilty about going behind their friend's back.

There are implications that a character was assumed to have self-harmed, but this was not actually the case.
