* AdultsAreUseless- Almost all of the adults are useless and annoying, at least in the narrator's eyes. For example, her mother is an emotionless {{Workaholic}} who only cares about appearances, her therapist Marge is too self righteous to help Hope, and so on.
* AmoralAttorney- The protagonist's mom.
* CityWithNoName- Intentionally on the narrator's part, since the book is her journal. She does not want to reveal where her friends live.
* ConvenientMiscarriage- The protagonist's baby. [[InvokedTrope Invoked]], though, since she did all the things would make this likely. Also, she's never 100% sure.
* DeadpanSnarker- Aimee, and later the narrator.
* DrivenToSuicide- Aimee
