No but there is a very close call. During the song "You're Welcome" in this iteration ("You Make my Balls so Blue" in the original.) Veronica uses one thing she remembers from self defense class and sweeps the leg, having the upper hand on her attackers.

You're welcome is a song about attempted date-rape but the potential victim gets away. Rumours are later spread about a "swordfight in her mouth" by the attempted rapists

Veronica fakes her death so JD will stop stalking her and trying to involve her in his plot to bomb the school. Her mother finds her after JD leaves and screams. Veronica assures her that it is a joke and immediately takes the noose from around her neck.

Not explicitly but JD's song "Freeze Your Brain" has a lot to do with his thoughts of self harm and suicide.

Heather Duke had bulimia. It is played as if it was done for attention and dismissed. Heather Macnamara tells her she needs to see a doctor.

No, but Kurt and Ram are killed with a forged suicide note saying they could no longer "hide their love from a misapproving world." They are both straight but after they, the entire town believes they were gay.

In the climatic end of the song Dead Girl Walking, Veronica and JD aggressively rip each others clothes off as they sleep together for the first time. Veronica's bra is shown. Kurt and Ram strip to their underwear before they are killed. Their ghosts retain the same state of undress through the remainder of the show.
