not on screen, but there's a brief mention in the beginning of the film about a mayor resigning from his job for "sleeping with teenagers/interns", and mentions someone having to come forward on the matter.

49:00 minutes in, outside the bar. Diwata is talking to Howie and a man and she says "Hey, Howie, settle this debate for us. You've read the Crucible, right?" Right afterward, Solomon walks out onto the staircase above them and v*mits, full visual and audio, lasts no more than two seconds.

No, but there is a mention as when one character is extremely distraught over previous events, his friend tries to lighten the mood, insisting "Well, he looks like he's going to k*** himself, so I had to say something!"

the opening scene includes a citizen complaining about plays and musicals that depict pregnancy out of wedlock. brief discussions about sex and sleeping with people, all teenagers talking. a teenage girl is worried she's pregnant. it's implied but not stated throughout that a teenage boy (18 years old) lied to and slept with a teacher of his, and while he avoids the conversation his friends bring it up with concerns to its legality. there is fake nudity at the end of the film as three teenage characters wear skin-toned body suits for a performance. nothing graphic is seen or described.

All fake--scenes from The Crucible are re-enacted and props are used. Fake blood is shown in someone's mouth (as a prop on stage and we see her putting it there) and is visible on her shirt later on.

Some scenes are filmed like clips taken by characters' smartphones. No serious visual problems, but I'm noting it here just in case.

slurs no, but "homosexual" is used in a derogatory sense, and there are a few uncomfortable terms used throughout; e.g., "this districts loves the...gays" and a G.S.A. being denied, then later referred to as a "lesbians-in-love-club". that said, there isn't any bullying, harassment, insults, etc. throughout.

A character gets anonymous comments on a video that reference her weight; she's unbothered and replies, complimenting herself. I believe later on there's a joke about a "food baby" but I don't recall anything else.

a student gives a speech mistakenly arguing the wrong topic, and begins talking about how shorter-than-average people are, by default, less intelligent or capable--this may be triggering or uncomfortable just because of the conversations it's meant to parallel.

in the beginning scene, an irate citizen starts yelling student a school board meeting about the morals of a town being disrupted and uses the word homosexual derogatorily. a character insults short people during a debate performance and its spun to parallel hate speech, as he made the claim that intelligence corresponds to height; this is more or less played for comedy.

no--a character goes to a pregnancy center to find out if she's pregnant and is in a clinical waiting room briefly beforehand. it's a false alarm, and no medical procedures are shown anyway.

No one is hurt and no medical equipment is shown, but a character's mother works at a hospital and the outside of it is shown briefly. Further, a character goes to a parenthood center and is in a medical-type waiting room but we don't see anything beyond that.

44:00 Diwata puts fake blood in her mouth as a prop (we see her drinking from a soda can) then turns around and spits out a lot of it. Visual of that for maybe thirty seconds. It's visible on her shirt afterward.
