People are in a situation where they have to live with others who are cruel to them. It’s not in a home as such but still may be triggering

Wilfred was tied up on a pole and got beaten up by the other hunters as Jack ordered that specific command to them. Reason was never mentioned, or nonexistent.

The initial blow from the boulder kills Piggy but he also falls into the ocean (there are rocks at the bottom) and is swept away.

But a main character is majorly bullied about his weight throughout which I found very triggering.
There is also some survival-related scarcity of food which could be a trigger.

The entire book is centred around being trapped on a desert island, so if being unable to escape is a trigger for you, this may not be the book for you.

In the original version, Piggy says the n word during his speech to the hunters in chapter 11. This was changed to “Indians” and sometimes “savages” in later versions
