A child’s hands are shown to be scarred from a whipping that happened offscreen. Later, a child is slapped once.
More generally, the movie is very much about the sexual, religious, and emotional abuse of children.

Jem, a 17 year old (played by a 24 year old) is shown having sex twice(?) with an older man. She is not shown nude.
No graphic nudity, but in a shower scene, Jem is shown masturbating.
In the first ten minutes, she is given a sweater to “cover up” as her bra is slightly visible (this is portrayed as wrong).
While choreographing a dance, she is told to remove a twirl from it, as her long skirt spins with her and shows a bit of her leg (again, this is shown as wrong).

Jem's nose is shown running onto her face when she goes outside of the church to cry after being told her bra was visible. She wipes it off with her hand. There is no category specifically for that, but this is the closest one.

None, but it’s probably important to mention that a minor character is stated as having gone to conversion therapy prior to the film’s events.
