Characters kiss, and there's one scene in which two characters make out in a car and talk about having sex at a later time. Boys tease girls and touch them without consent, including slaps on the butt and pulling them down on their laps, and the boys use sexual language to describe their female classmates: "most bangable," "best ass," "hottest selfie," "best rack," "MILF," and "the C word." Other language includes "f-k," "s-t," "a-holes," "bitch," "d-k," "dyke," "Jesus Christ," and more. Nobody faces serious consequences for the partying, and the film positions most of the teen characters as responsible and well-intentioned even as they experiment with drinking and sex and do iffy things like sneak into a business after dark, steal a trophy from the school principal, and deface school property.

Fathers are largely absent, but Vivian's mom is supportive and models strong communication. A transgender girl is upset when adults refuse to call by her new name. Black girls are vocal about the offensive precedent of being judged historically by "their asses and their hair," and they ask that people respect their bodies. Claudia shows courage in taking the fall for Vivian despite the higher-stakes risks for her. The rebelliousness also prompts some confrontations at home. Vivian partakes in some risky behavior by sneaking into a business with her boyfriend, drinking too much, stealing a trophy, and defacing school property. School teachers and administrators look the other way despite troubling behavior and first-hand complaints of mistreatment.
As the school's females gather together to raise their voices and stand up to school traditions/culture, they show the value of teamwork.
She demonstrates courage in doing so, even though she remains anonymous at first. Vivian is inspired to take a stand against sexism at her school.
