* {{Gayngst}}: Anne suffers greatly throughout the film due to her awakening feelings. First she's raped by her friend, who was sure she felt attracted to him. Then he sabotages her relationship with the girl she's actually into, who then rejects her when a photo of them kissing is distributed, saying Anne forced her. By the end though she's come to terms with her sexuality and moved on.



* RapeAsDrama: Cliff pushes Anne into having sex with him. Though she doesn't say no or actively resist it, she's clearly also not happy with this but he ignores every sign until later. Anne also later recounts once being sexually assaulted offscreen when a guy whom she met in a bar made her give him a hand job.
