SPOLIERS:
Neil Perry commits suicide, and doesn't say goodbye or give any indication that he's going to. This scene and plotline could definitely upset someone with abandonment issues

While it's not full-on stalking, a character finds out where the girl he has a crush on goes to school and appears there to see her without her knowledge or consent.

Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard) is mentally abused by his father. His father is constantly reprimanding him and refusing what he wants to do. This eventually leads to Neil's suicide.

Some say it can be possible that Mr. Perry, verbally abuses or mentally manipulates his wife? But also the mental abuse towards his son Neil.

While I can't remember in how many scenes, there is casual use of cigarettes and alcohol.

There was an unfilmed, but written scene, where Todd has implied alcholism.

a character is held back from getting in a fistfight by his friends (he still punches the other kid though), but I don't know that it really counts as "restrained"

depending on how you interpret it, a girl cheats on her boyfriend in a courtly, chaste way.

The boys are all in the restroom and preparing for bed. You can see them in towels, but that's it.

After finding out that his best friend (and maybe romantic interest) Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard) is dead, Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke) vomits in the snow as he's overcome with grief.

One of the characters is heavily implied to struggle with anxiety and has a scene of panic.

Yes, and no full body or blood is shown but a hand is shown, gun smoke, and a gun. And then everything is loud and in slow motion. Caused a panic attack so it still was intense even with the implication.

Neil is not canonically gay but is heavily gay-coded.

It's strongly implied that Neil's dad is homophobic but no slurs are used.

A picture of a naked woman is shown as well as half nude guys while they get ready for bed - but very mild

Plot failure but personal triumph in some ways. See the dramatica analysis for more details.
