Two girls follow a couple down the street for fun. They trail another man's car later. Not really stalking but still trailing people for their own amusement.

Not really Enid is 18 at youngest and has sex with an older man if that makes you uncomfortable I would probably avoid this movie all together because for the most part it’s about their developing relationship

Enid and Seymour drink wine together after she fails her art class, but none of the characters are alcoholics, and this scene is the only scene that features drinking.

Josh calls Enid “a Jew” and he talks about anti Semitic conspiracy theories (specifically them controlling the world). She responds by calling him the K slur.
