* CompetitionFreak: Sakura, big time. Not only does she play (and own) pretty much every game ever, but when Payton did a magazine quiz about high school experiences, Sakura became extremely disgruntled when she realized others had more "points" than her for doing things like throwing a WildTeenParty or making out in class. She immediately ropes the player into helping her rack up these points.

** Sakura mentions she "[[Franchise/MassEffect made out with a Quarian on the eve of the battle of Rannoch.]]" This also makes her a CrossPlayer, since the Quarian in question is a romance option for Male!Shepherd only.

''[[http://www.highschoolstory.com/ High School Story]]'' is an Android and iPhone game which allows the player to build a high school to attend. The player creates a student and then helps to direct the development of the school by building classrooms, purchasing books, and admitting more students. Quests can be completed to upgrade the school, help out a fellow classmate, or just advance the plot.
At its heart, ''High School Story'' is a Breeding SimulationGame that uses the same mechanics as games like ''[[https://www.facebook.com/appcenter/dragoncity Dragon City]]'' or ''[[https://www.facebook.com/appcenter/playskytopia Skytopia]]'' or even some aspects of ''VideoGame/MonsterRancher'', though the trappings are different: instead of breeding two creatures to combine their types, two students will throw a party and will meet a new student dependent upon which clique they belong to. Instead of spending a few hours warming the egg in a hatchery, the new student must spend a few hours filling out forms in the admission office.

* AdultsAreUseless: Two teenagers in a parking lot are entirely capable of starting a school on their own. It just builds from there.
** When Hope is bullied on her school's website, the principal demands that she show proof of the bullying before he will do anything. This despite the fact that ''it's the school's website'' and he should be more than capable of accessing the public pages where other students were posting about her. There's also the fact that it went on publicly for ''months'' and absolutely no teachers or moderators took notice.
