Mental health issues, including social anxiety and depression, is a key narrative feature. Teen characters are shown dealing with different issues, discussing their medication, and admitting to feelings of isolation, loneliness and self-harm. However, the film reinforces positive messages around overcoming difficulties, finding friendship and familial love, and coping with mental health issues.

A teen character is revealed to have taken his own life. There is prolonged focus on the grief this causes his family, and the response of others. Another teen reveals his attempt to take his own life or harm himself as a result of depression, but the film affirms positive messages around seeking support.

There are occasional comic sex references, such as to rubbing one's nipples, and things being 'kinky' and 'erotic'. A character jokes that two male teens being friends will be mistaken as being 'gay' or as 'lovers'.

There are passing references to smoking 'crack' and 'pot', and a character being in rehab and recovery.

There is infrequent strong language ('f**k') and milder terms including 'shit', 'damn', 'God', and 'Christ'.
