Bullying: MC gets bullied verbally several times by classmates, and later is physically assaulted with weapons by several peers. On the bright side,

he kicks their asses.

Death: Mentioned frequently in threats and in passing. Ghosts and the like. Emotional/Domestic/Child Abuse, Alcohol: MC’s stepfather is emotionally abusive to MC and his mother, often while drinking. Physical Abuse: Implied abuse when the abuser raises their hand and the victim flinches. MC says aloud ‘[Abuser] hits you,’ and it is not contested by the victim. For more context:

It is revealed near the end of the book that the stepfather hits the MC’s mother when he is not around. This is rectified.
