--->'''Wes:''' Every group of friends has one. The one who doesn't look as good, thus making their friends look better. The one who's approachable and easy to talk to, because no one's trying to get in their pants.

%% * BetaBitch: Madison's minion Caitlin who films Bianca twice to humiliate her.

%% * JerkJock: Subverted. Wes appear as this initially, dissing Bianca for her DUFF status, but it turns out to be a case of BrutalHonesty. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold He's a pretty nice guy, actually.]]

%% * SpicyLatina: Casey. Sporty, being a clever hacker, and being [[LampshadeHanging described as so]] word for word.

%% * StrawLoser: Bianca and every "DUFF" by definition. Every group has a "Designated Ugly Fat Friend", apparently.

* StrawLoser: Bianca and every "DUFF" by definition. Every group has a "Designated Ugly Fat Friend", apparently.

* ThoseTwoGirls: Bianca's friends Jess and Casey. They always appear together.

* CoolLoser: Played with with the very definition of a DUFF. Bianca is intelligent and good-looking -- and the movie doesn't try to kid the audience she's not -- and isn't even necessarily unpopular. She is just friends with two girls who are more popular than her, which makes her a loser ''by comparison''.

* InstantHumiliationJustAddYoutube: Caitlyn caught Bianca having her little dance and action on the mannequin pretending it was Toby and later attempt to flirt with a bunch of guys, filmed it on her phone, later edited it to match the beat of ''Anaconda'' by Music/NickiMinaj and ''#Selfie'' by Music/TheChainsmokers and uploaded it to YouTube and gained a viral hit just to humiliate Bianca further. Those videos got taken off later as cyberbullying though.

* AlphaBitch: Madison. Her life seems to revolve around keeping the supposed "losers" down and getting herself a trophy boyfriend who would ensure her social status. Thankfully averted with Bianca's friends Jess and Casey, who, despite being devastatingly attractive and largely popular, don't exhibit any bitchy traits.

* AlphaBitch: Madison. Her life seems to revolve around keeping the supposed "losers" down and getting herself a trophy boyfriend who would ensure her social status.

* TeensAreShort: Played straight with Bianca but subverted with many of the other high school characters. Both Jess and Casey, as well as the AlphaBitch Madison, is obviously taller than Bianca. Note that the actress playing Madison, Creator/BellaThorne, was 16 while filming this movie, meanwhile the actress playing Bianca, Creator/MaeWhitman, is almost ten years older.

* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Wesley. He is Bianca's next door neighbor, grew up together until his being a DumbJock annoys the hell out of her, and after she transformed from that shy DUFF to a bright beautiful girl (with his help nontheless) he got the girl.
