As the other person said, JD gaslights Veronica into killing multiple people, and the three Heathers together gaslight Veronica into coming to a field with some rapists before abandoning her, and they gaslight Martha Dunstock into believing her crush likes her back, leading to her suicide attempt.

There's what @hyperjenb mentioned, along with JD behaving in a way that can count as stalking towards Veronica later - going so far as to enter her home through the window to kill her since she won't join him in his murder plans.

One of the jocks hump Heather D. when she doesn't want them to in the "Big Fun" song and then in "Blue" they try to force Heather M., Heather D., and Veronica to have sex with them but it is played off for dark comedy and they never appear to be in any real danger - sometimes "Blue" is replaced with "You're Welcome" in some versions of the play. "You're Welcome" is much more blatantly rape-y to the point that it is uncomfortable to watch but no one is actually sexually assaulted/raped in that song either.

In most productions, vomit is only heard and not seen, coming from Heather Duke in the opening number and by Heather Chandler during the party, but this may vary depending on the performance and who is putting on the show.

Two characters in the show, Martha and Heather McNamara, attempt suicide but fail. There is also a brief scene where Veronica prenteds to hang herself, but did not kill herself nor intend to kill herself. There are three characters who are murdered and framed to look like they killed themselves, but did not in fact kill themselves.

It depends on who is cast as what in the play but if a black person is cast as Heather C. and dies first it is not because of the trope of having black characters die first.

Yes - there is a lot of dry humping in the play to an uncomfortable extent. There is a song about blue balls or alternatively in some versions rape. There is also a lot of nudity but everyone still wears undergarments (bras and underwear).

It depends on what you consider a happy ending - Veronica and Martha end the play on a relatively happy note with them becoming friends again but by that point 4 people have died and 2 have attempted suicide so it is very bittersweet.

There is an explosion but it is not nuclear - JD tries to bomb the school and ends up blowing himself up instead when Veronica objects.
