A minor has sex and a fellow minor is sexually attracted to her. No adults look at them sexually and it is not shown or depicted in a way that the filmmakers are leering at them or handling it inappropriately.

There is a lot of drinking shown, including underage drinking but nothing heavy enough to be considered abusing alcohol

Two zebra finches are kept in a very small and bare cage. This wasn't considered abuse at the time when the film was set but wouldn't be acceptable now

There's a brief consensual sexual roleplay of a woman being abused by a male photographer. In my opinion, this scene implies that the woman recreates an abuse she has lived before, but this is never brought up again so this is just conjecture.

A bit. Jamie is knocked out for a bit due to lack of oxygen to the brain, he breathes heavy but then is passed out and does not strain.

Off-screen and is only described in voice over while the character is still alive. We don't see the character's children react.

Heavy cancer themes. One character dies from lung cancer, off screen after the events of the movie. Another character heals and becomes cancer free.

Some actions could easily be considered self destructive behaviour, but there's no explicit self harm depicted.

A mother writes an excuse note for her son in which she pretends he was in a plane crash but got lucky and was not hurt. It's very obviously fake in context and no actual plane crash is shown on screen.

A woman gets a bloody lip during a fight. It is very brief and you can barely see it.
