A 17 year old boy is put in a very difficult situation and given a lot of responsibility for something that shouldn’t be his problem. I’d imagine that it would damage him emotionally

Frank attacks a man and pins him against the wall, blocking his windpipe. The man struggles to breathe for a while but he is OK after being released.

Heavy themes of suicidal ideation. Frank Slade wants to kill himself due to being blind. This is discussed several times throughout the film and he comes close to doing it but is stopped by another character.

Prostitution is implied but no scene shows sex or even interaction with the prostitutes.

They do not crash but there is a fairly intense scene of dangerous driving where Frank Slade drives a sports car despite being completely blind. He drives fast and there's a lot of swerving and near-misses.
