The neighbor’s pet rabbit dies offscreen and the dog digs up the rabbit’s grave and they think the dog killed the bunny.

A young girl auditions for the school pep rally and her choreography/song choice are pretty overtly sexual and completely inappropriate for her age.

The pet dog seems to have killed the neighbor’s rabbit but it’s soon revealed that the rabbit died previously of natural causes and the dog just dug up the grave.

Dickie’s mother was emotionally abusive and neglectful of him when he was a child. George is an absent father but not necessarily abusive.

Dickie throws a sentimental toy that used to belong to Sam and Sally, and smashes it. They both witness this, and are shocked.

The drug references are about teenagers being addicted to substances and the focus is the age.

Dickie is driving and comes up to a car that is stopped at a green light and starts to honk. There are other cars honking as well. When Dickie loses control on his stilts there are tons of crashing sounds offscreen and there are honking horns and screeching tires.

The pet dog appears to kill the neighbor’s rabbit but it turns out it died of natural causes and the dog dug it up. Im very sensitive to animals dying, etc. but the bunny is very fake and doesn’t bother me.
