8''Wasted Youth'' is, for lack of a better description, ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'' as a Flash game. It is being made in two parts; Part 1 can be played [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/573976 here]], while Part 2 is currently in development.
9
10You play as an [[HelloInsertNameHere unnamed]] British teen boy who is sent to [[TheGoodOldBritishComp St. Frost Academy]], a {{boarding school}} for Britain's slackers, troublemakers and idiots, after getting expelled from his last school. You meet your new classmates, perform odd jobs for them, go to class (or not), and make friends and enemies in your first few days at school. Before long, however, students start disappearing from the campus...
11----
12!!This web game has examples of:
13
14%%* TheAlcoholic: Lilly.
15* AlphaBitch: Tina, a decidedly chavvy version of this trope. Annabelle is the more conventional RichBitch variety.
16* AmbiguousSituation: Dave is never directly portrayed as suspicious. He appears to be simply a deuteragonist whose role is guiding the player through the school and serving as a friend. But the fact that he never interacts with the others students, always shows up alongside you in a way that none of the others characters do, and for the fact that he has no entry in the stusents database or no lockers makes you doubt his existence. When the protagonist talk about Dave to Nate, he simply answers "Who ?". Is he a ghost ?
17* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: Kind of. The "FinalBoss" is fought [[spoiler: on the dance floor at a rave.]]
18* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Annabelle, who was the AlphaBitch before she disappeared, is found dead and buried in the football field at the end of Part 1.]]
19* BigBad: It appears that [[{{Goth}} Xerxes]] is being set up as this for Part 2, with it strongly implied that he's behind the students' disappearances [[spoiler:and Annabelle's death]].
20** On the other hand, even given the DeletedScene unlocked by OneHundredPercentCompletion, Xerxes is a little ''[[RedHerring too]]'' obvious...
21** Meanwhile Nate is this for Part 1. (Though likely a BigBadWannabe in the grand scheme of things.)
22%%* BigBadWannabe: Nate.
23%%* BigEater: Eugene.
24%%* BigHeadMode
25* BigNo: Adrian really doesn't like long division...
26%%* BoardingSchool
27* BoardingSchoolOfHorrors: In Patrick's perspective as he's picked on by nearly the entire student body. [[spoiler: Also, you know, because of all the murders.]]
28%%* {{Bookworm}}: Elaine.
29* TheBully: Nate, the chief antagonist in Part 1.
30* ButtMonkey: Patrick, apparently the most hated student in the school.
31* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Happens to Roger, who was spying on, and masturbating to, the girls sleeping through a peephole [[spoiler:in the "secret room"]]. [[{{Squick}} You see everything.]]
32* {{Cliffhanger}}: Part 1 ends with [[spoiler:you and Dave digging up the field to find the corpse of Annabelle, one of the students who went missing]].
33%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: William.
34* ConjoinedTwins: One of the defaced posters which you need to remove in a mission depicts this.
35%%* DeanBitterman: Mr. Stouffer.
36%%* TheDitz: Fred.
37* DramaBombFinale: TheReveal of [[spoiler:Annabelle's corpse buried in the football field]].
38* DrillSergeantNasty / SadistTeacher: The school's [[MeaningfulName appropriately-named]] gym teacher, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Mr. Bastard]].
39* {{Eagleland}}: American exchange student Guy is a hardcore Type 2 Eaglelander, constantly talking about America's superiority to everybody else. His bio in the school database, however, reveals that he deliberately embraces his country's worst stereotypes in order to have an identity -- ''any'' identity -- to claim as his own, frequently switching between different states' stereotypes as he sees fit.
40* FunnyForeigner: Guy, an American example.
41* GilliganCut: After breaking into the liquor cellar for the party, the player character has [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Lilly]] watch over the liquor, telling her not to drink any of it. When he returns with Faye and Bethany, he finds Lilly sprawled on the floor drunk, with several empty bottles and a broken table surrounding her.
42%%* TheGoodOldBritishComp
43* {{Goth}}: Xerxes. Reading the school database, however, reveals that it's more about image for him than anything -- he has a history of jumping onto cultural bandwagons, his recent foray into goth culture only being the latest one.
44* GottaCatchEmAll: The fifty Piggymon cards, which have pictures of guinea pigs ranked according to their [[{{Squee}} cuteness]], ferocity and appetite.
45* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Lilly. Apparently, getting drunk makes it ''easier'' for her to study. Zena also likes to drink and party.
46* HatedByAll: Patrick is the most hated student in the entire school. Apparently, according to student records, he mistreats other students only to play the victim when returned the favor, although strangely, nowhere in the game do we see him display such behavior.
47* HateSink: Nate and his sheer arrogance, and how everyone else in the school loves him despite this.
48%%* HelloInsertNameHere
49* HolidayInCambodia: Mr. Stouffer goes into a "Vietnam flashback" while giving a speech, revealing that [[TooMuchInformation he slept with]] [[UnsettlingGenderReveal a transvestite]] while on vacation in Vietnam.
50* HospitalHottie: Miss Cummings, the school nurse, is stated to be astoundingly beautiful. So much so that taking a picture of her during the mission "Photogenic" gives you ''15 points'', while even the most attractive students only give you 5.
51* ImaginaryFriend: While not certain as of the ending of Part 1, it's heavily implied that [[spoiler:your best friend Dave is not real. None of the other kids acknowledge his presence or even existence, and he has no student profile.]]
52** Which makes you wonder since [[spoiler:if Dave really is imaginary and a part of the main character, ''[[FridgeHorror how did he know about Annabelle's corpse?]]'']]
53* {{Jerkass}}: Some characters are this. The first to come to mind are Nate, Tina and Daria, although in the latter's case, it's mostly unintentional and due to her lack of self-awareness.
54* LovableJock: Kim, the most athletic student in the school. Not to mention her records state that she's an even better gym teacher than Mr. Bastard.
55* TheMafia: Michael's father is all but stated to be a Mob boss. His side mission also contains a strong ShoutOut to ''Film/TheGodfather''.
56%%* NeatFreak: Monica.
57* ThePeepingTom: Roger, who [[spoiler:goes into the "secret room" and]] spies on the girls sleeping through a peephole. You [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown catch him in the act]].
58%%* RichBitch: Annabelle.
59* ShoutOut:
60** When breaking into the groundskeeper's shed, your friend tells you that VideoGame/YouHaveToBurnTheRope.
61** St. Frost Academy has a [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Scottish groundskeeper]].
62** Wendy sure looks like another [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Wendy]] we may know...
63** There is a kid named [[Music/LouReed Lou]] who makes noisy music.
64%%* SocialDarwinist: Nate.
65* TakeThat:
66** When asked to [[HelloInsertNameHere choose your name]], the game tells you not to make it something stupid, because "ask the kid of any celebrity how that feels and you'll realise it's a bad idea."
67** "Why do all the ''[[Series/TheXFactor X-Factor]]'' winners get the [[UsefulNotes/AVeryBritishChristmas Christmas Number One]]? Because they all sound the same!"
68** In-universe, Zachary is a movie and pop culture geek whose purpose in life is to insult all the crap that crowds theaters and the pop charts.
69** There are also a lot of jabs at ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' and ''Series/{{Lost}}''.
70* TeacherStudentRomance: Lesbian example -- in the school database, it is strongly implied that Miss Minerva is dating a female student.
71* TheSpook: Yves. The school database reveals that no information about his past life or his parents are known. He only speaks in short sentences.
72* ToiletHumor: Roger's fascination with his own... excrement.
73** Moreover, there's an unlockable game mod that can make all [=NPCs=] pass gas every once in a while.
74* TransparentCloset: The game never [[IncrediblyLamePun comes out]] and directly ''states'' that Miss Minerva is a lesbian, but it does everything it can to imply as much.
75* UnexpectedGameplayChange: One mission has you racing an RC car on the football field. Also, the final mission contains a dancing game, a drinking game, and a fight [[spoiler:with Nate]] built around [[PressXToNotDie quick-time events]].
76* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Nate, despite (or because of) his obvious {{Jerkass}} attitude and behavior, everyone loves him. [[spoiler:Even when you win a fight against him in the party at the end, your victory backfires and you get kicked out, thanks to his solid reputation keeping him practically immune to ANY kind of backlash or consequences.]]
77* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: [[{{Eagleland}} Guy]] wears an American flag bandanna on his head.
78* WildTeenParty: The climax is centered around one of these, held in the assembly hall after hours.
