An attempted drugging occurs. A character mentions how a man tried to slip an aspirin in her coke (implying to the audience he was trying to drug her). This is not shown on screen. She catches him and and no one is harmed.

Only partially. During the school dance Kenicky and a student of a rivaling school are about to fight each other but they're stopped by their respective girlfriends.

Danny tries to pressure Sandy into s*x, grabbing her breast at one point, and there are several other scenes where characters grab/jokingly touch others, look up girl's skirts, or joke about girls having "put up a fight". there is no s*a* shown on-scene, but a lot of the movie's "humor" plays off it.

no, but if this is a sensitive trigger i'd be aware that there is a moment at the pep rally (22:45) where a scarecrow-type thing wearing the opposing teams uniform is seen fully on-fire.

Not, really but at the movie-drive in, Sandy slams the door shut on Danny who then grabs his groin, implying he was hit in the crotch.

Mostly in the context of teenaged characters sexualizing other teenagers. All of the actors playing the teens are much older than the ages of their characters.

A lot of the characters frequently chew gum throughout the movie, and there is no effort to disguise or mute the sound it causes. Some scenes are worse than others.

The scene where Rizzo and Kenicky make out in the cramped small car might be considered claustrophobic by some.

Not exactly, we don't know why a girl isn't pregnant anymore, but it is clear that when she thought she was, that she described her worth negatively "like a broken typewriter" which casts a negative view on pregnancy. It's the 1950s so any abortion she had would have been risky.

Internalized homophobia is shown when Kenicky and Danny hug each other tightly but then quickly distance themselves and begin combing their hair.

Sandy is not asexual (since we know she'll do it when married someday) but she is bullied for not being sexual and a virgin. The romance is a sort of puppy romance--it's not sexual and the guy feels he has to hide it and make it sound steamier to his friends. Both Sandy and the man guy suffer from the taunting, and the leading man stops respecting Sandy for a time. I wish I could say that it shows that it was a bad thing, but the movie's message is pretty much have sex already people.

Someone is mocked for being a virgin, and at the end she decides she's going to give into the pressure (she does have one friend though that seems respectful)--however it's done (or perhaps just ends) in a clean cheesy way with the couple SPOILER with the man at the wheel driving a car into the sky perhaps symbolically since the movie isn't magical in any other instance, and the car is named greased lightning.

frequent jokes and references to sex, one implied sex scene (36:15-38:00). it is non-graphic and fully clothed-- two teenagers make out in the back of a car, discuss using a condom, then continue on. a lot of breathing noises but nothing actually happens on-screen. a teenage character is worried she is pregnant. etc.

Well, the "happy" ending involves someone completely changing herself to win the affection of a guy who cheated on her and tried to assault her on a date.
