A boy advises another boy, "it's not about what she wants, it's about what you want." It's during the scene with the five boys "camping" in an empty house.

There's multiple scenes where teen boys throw homophobic slurs around and generally make homophobic accusations. Also, as a boy, the main character is subjected to homophobic comments from adults for having long hair, getting his ears pierced, or wearing nail polish.

Some boys look at a lingerie catalog, and then at a pornographic video. You can see enough to know they're looking at porn, but it's obscured so it's not explicit.
