Not stalked, but the protagonist kid is chased by other kids. It's heavily implied they would beat him up if they catched him.

The main character's mother is a drug addict and she acts erratically, yelling at the main character, hassling him for money to buy drugs, and being otherwise negligent.

Character wearing grills takes them out to eat. Not a tooth damage but I have a general dental squick and it squicked me a little bit, like someone taking out a retainer would.

a character describes having sex with a girl at school in detail and this scene is later seen in the main character's nightmare with no nudity but noise (moaning and etc.) and thrusting movements. there is an implied sex scene between the main character and his love interest at a beach, no nudity, some noise. a woman is implied to be a prostitute and characters discuss her job.
