Some young teenagers are dating each other, and in particular there's a 12 year old girl who talks about "french kissing" a boy (but we don't actually see the kids kissing each other). At one point a boy tells her she's "fast" for dating a boy right after breaking up with another one. The kids are all dating age-appropriately with other kids.

Not on-screen, but we hear a pretty upsetting story about a cat that was violently killed.

A kid gets killed from a head injury and we see a good amount of blood. There's also a kid who has a soft skull and is at constant risk of head/brain injury.

This is THE major plot point of the movie, we see the kid get injured, we see him die, we see his body, other characters are traumatized by witnessing it. Definitely avoid if this is a trigger for you.
