Sort of? During the episode about Dave and Adam’s radio show, Dave attempts to make a point about trans people in bathrooms by dressing up as a woman (poorly) and going into the girls bathroom. It’s treated as transphobic by the other characters in the show, though, and Dave learns his lesson by the end of the episode

The premiere and finale of season 2, and few episodes in the later seasons deal with the topic of physical abuse, it could be argued that Ellie and Zoe's moms are emotionally abusive, and the episode Jane says in season 8 deals with sexual abuse.

Sometime in season 5 (lexicon of love) you see Alex's step-dad hit her, she also briefly mentions her mother being abused a few times throughout the show. A few episodes in season 3 deal with a character being abused by her boyfriend and in a later season theres a similar episode

Season 11 Episode 13 (Should have said No part 2): when Jake asks Clare if they can talk they go to a classroom and there's a snake in a vivarium in there. Be prepared because the scene opens with a close up of it, it is rather difficult to avoid and quite sudden if you don't know about it.

Clear examples (all portrayed as predatory/pedophilic and not romanticised): Connor is groomed by an online ‘girlfriend’ who turns out to be an older adult woman (season 10). KC is also groomed by his basketball coach (season 9). Jane is revealed to have been molested by her father as a little girl in Jane Says (season 8).
in addition to these and to Emma’s abduction mentioned by another user above there are also multiple teacher/student relationships, YMMV on how predatory each is:
- Paige has a relationship with her student teacher, he is college-aged and she is about 16/17 (season 4)
- Sav and Miss Oh have a brief relationship/affair, he is 18 at the time but still her student (season 11)
- Tristan is groomed by Mr Yates (this is the only student/teacher relationship to be fully portrayed as predatory within the show’s narrative, the other two are presented more as doomed romances) (season 13)

A 14-15 year old character commits suicide in an unspecified way and his body is found by another student, but only his reaction is shown. The body isn’t shown. Not super unexpected within the context of the story, considering that the character’s storyline centered around his depression

cam intentionally drinks milk (he’s allergic) and throws up in a trash can. smell is described but you can’t see the throwup.
additionally in season 11 it is discovered that katie had/has bulimia, and she tries to induce vomiting over a toilet, but fails.

In episode 9 of season 2, a character uses bingeing and purging as a way to lose weight for wrestling. Another character develops anorexia starting in the 15th episode of season 5. In episodes 9 and 10 of season 10, a character takes diet pills to lose weight. In episodes 24 and 25 of season 11, a character is outed to the whole school as being bulimic by her best friend. She binges and starts to purge, but stops. In episodes 25 and 26 of season 12, a character starts engaging in disordered eating to lose weight for his crush.

Very mild, since they are all 12-14. There’s an episode about Jimmy and Ashley deciding whether or not to have sex (they decide against it) and an episode in which JT and Toby watch porn on the family computer while their parents are gone (it is, of course, not shown)
