* HeroicBSOD: In Lindsey's book, after all her attempts at helping others end in complete disaster, she locks herself in her room and decides she'll never try to help anyone again. It's so bad that when someone (her brother) actually asks for her help, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness she refuses]] because she thinks she'll only make it worse.

* HardTruthAesop: Lindsey's book has a minor one; sometimes jerks and bullies don't always get what's coming to them. Blair is never punished for bullying April and even wins the Perfect World Collage contest.

** ''Literature/AmericanGirlsKirsten'': Powderkeg School is a one-room schoolhouse in rural Minnesota, with the students ranging from little kids to almost-grown men. When Amos points out that he and the new teacher, Miss Winston, are both nineteen, Miss Winston still makes it clear that she has full authority in the schoolhouse and expects his respect and deference -- then mocks him when he reveals he's still in one of the earliest readers.
** One magazine-only short story, "Kirsten's New Teacher", has Kirsten's older cousin Lisbeth Larson act as teacher while they're at home together snowed in without Miss Winston. Kirsten doesn't see her cousin as an authority figure since Lisbeth is only a few years older and Lisbeth struggles to be one until all the children at home find a better way to "teach" that day.
** ''Literature/AmericanGirlsSamantha'': Nellie starts school late for her age (because she had to work in a factory to support her family) and is made fun of by her younger classmates who think she's stupid for not being able to read and write and being the oldest in her second-grade class. Samantha decides to tutor her to get her into the next grade up and sets up a classroom in her attic with supplies lent to her by her own teacher, Miss Stevens. The two girls call it the Mount Better School -- a play on the name of Samantha's school, the Mount Bedford School -- and Samantha teaches Nellie reading and writing (as she soon learns that Nellie [[GoodWithNumbers learned math making quick money choices]] with what little they had to support a family of five).
** When [=Mckenna=] Brooks struggles to grasp reading comprehension, she is paired with Josie Myers, a girl only two years older than her, as a tutor.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. Named characters always have their race and/or ethnicity specified, both Girls of the Year and Historical Characters (and other lines such as the short-lived Contemporary and World By Us lines). However, the unnamed modern line (now called Truly Me) has ''none'' of the dolls given a specific race or ethnicity, as they're intended to be akin to "open canvases" to let purchasers create characters of their own. The medium tones have been used with more of the facial molds than the light or dark tones; for example, the Josefina mold has been used with all three availiable categories. Forthermore, using the Create Your Own system (which allows purchasers to pick the features of the doll), medium skin tens can be used with any of the availiable face molds offered. Basically, if the doll doesn't have a name, it doesn't have an ethnicity.

*** Molly's brother Ricky expresses this attitude in the movie (he mocks his mother for going to work in a factory) and in the mystery ''The Light in the Cellar'' this is why he and a friend want to take the credit for solving a mystery that Molly and her friends spent more time gathering clues for (and noticed there was something wrong in their town in the first place). He outright disrespects his older sister Jill for exerting authority (their mother put her in charge).
