While Biz is exploring her sexuality (she kisses Grace and then decides she wants to have sex with a boy) this isn't a major storyline. And a girl very briefly describes her first sexual experience. A boy pulls down a girl's underwear and puts his hands between her legs, and she stops and runs off. A boy sexts a picture of his penis to a girl he wants to date. Teens regularly get drunk and there's lots and lots of profanity ("s-t," "f-k," "a-hole," "dick"). She's trying to cope as best she can, but things begin to spiral out of control for her in the aftermath of a drunken beach party.
Not even her mother or her closest friend, Grace, fully realize the extent of Biz's mental illness.
