* ''Twilight in Therapy'' tries to teach that you shouldn't help people when help is neither wanted nor needed. The problem is that it doesn't define when it's wanted or needed; after all, a person could have a serious addiction yet still think they don't need help. Even worse, in one of the examples where Twilight's help is seen as unwelcome, she ''[[UnintentionallySympathetic saves someone from suicide]]'', which is another case where a person thinks they don't need help, while they do.

* ''Beast Boy in Equestria'' is a particularly egregious case. Despite containing the same "Friendship can't solve everything" message that all the other stories do, Beast Boy is only able to defeat the villain Changeling through the PowerOfFriendship. The ONLY reason Mykan says it fails is because [[spoiler:Beast Boy dies at the end but his death wasn't connected to his friendship with the others AT ALL.]] ''END OF ENDS'' has the exact same problem.
* One of the lessons of ''Pride and Punishment'' is that there is more than one way of doing or getting something and you should accept these ways as valid options, even if they aren't the most common way. The one who's supposed to learn this lesson is Ath Lita, who forced Talon Ted to get an acting degree when he wanted to pursue his dreams without one. However, Talon himself refuses to accept any way of achieving his dream of becoming an actor other than his own way (and mentions that he scoffed at those who did get degrees to become actors). This is despite the fact that said way wasn't working as he got rejected by every audition he went to. He's potrayed as being in the right for this.
