The ways the kids are treated at the conversion camp can very well be considered abusive, mostly emotionally and psychologically.

Roughly at the 37 minute mark of the movie, Jared is raped aggressively by his friend Henry, and then gaslit severely as immediately fallout. From the moment Jared asks if Henry wants to crash there, I would skip about 3-5 minutes to avoid the scene

It's a conversion therapy program.
I think that counts. The students are unable to leave and given abusive mental therapy.

There is a lot of hateful centered around being gay, as the community showed in this film are very conservative and religious. The main character is sent to a conversion camp where they speak of being gay as if it's a disease that needs to be cured.

There is relatively happy end for our main character. He is finally accepted by his parents and is shown thriving in a college environment as a writer.
