Connor smokes pot and possibly does other drugs. He died of an overdose, but since he got the drugs from the medicine cabinet, it's unknown whether he was actually addicted.

Evan fell out of a tree and broke his arm. The scene and topic is revisited often, but the actual breaking of the bone is not graphically described (it's more of a focus on the emotional aspect of it).

Evan almost throws up after Connor finds his printed letter and actually throws up after the library meeting for the Connor Project later in the movie. It is not graphic.

In the novel, the character Connor Murphy has a complicated relationship with another boy, and in chapters from his point of view, he admits to not being entirely heterosexual (if i remember correctly his sexuality is not stated) and possibly having feelings for the other boy.

It's solemn. It's not exactly happy, but it's hopeful. It has a great resolution in my opinion!
