drugs
There are passing references to smoking 'crack' and 'pot', and a character being in rehab and recovery.
suicide and self-harm
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.
theme
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.
additional issues
In one sequence a grieving character drives fast and takes her hands off the wheel, but quickly applies the brakes and regains control. There are brief scenes of bullying, including someone being pushed to the floor.
