Not entirely explicit, but a main character is raped in the episode Shout. The last we see of her before her next seen is her telling her rapist no, and him ignoring her.

Given for the majority of the show the cast were the same age as the characters - & thus underaged, the show was targeted to teenagers & the strict laws on this in Canada, there are no nude scenes

Season 11 Episode 13 (Should have said No part 2): when Jake asks Clare if they can talk they go to a classroom and there's a snake in a vivarium in there. Be prepared because the scene opens with a close up of it, it is rather difficult to avoid and quite sudden if you don't know about it.

This episode is all about Adam & the obstacles he has to overcome to his family sans Drew who was accepting of him - with a few bumps in the road - since the beginning as a transgender man.
His birthname Gracie is mentioned by a family member, though I don't remember if it was the grandmother or Audra Torres

aside from katie's bulimia and emma's eating disorder, there are also instances wherein characters abuse laxatives/diet pills to lose weight (toby in the episode 'mirror in the bathroom' and jenna in 'i just don't know what to do with myself'), although in both of those cases a full-blown eating disorder isn't developed and the characters stop the behaviour at the end of the episode

Two girls poke fun at Emma for wearing a baggy sweatsuit and point out "fat" on her body. It should be noted that Emma was quite skinny and struggling with anorexia at the time.

there are MANY teacher-student plotlines. a particularly bad example is sav and ms. oh. if you're sensitive to those kinds of things just skip those scenes entirely. i haven't faced trauma of any kind and they still gross me out and are an immediate skip when i rewatch. it's also worth noting that all of them are portrayed in a POSITIVE light except for tristain and this one teacher. very messed up :|
