Correcting a mistake I made earlier and adding examples.

* HappinessIsMandatory: Slateds have to wear special watch-like devices called Levos until their 21st birthday, which monitor their emotions and assign them different levels. Positive emotions such as happiness raise the level, negative ones make it drop, and if it gets below a certain point the person is knocked out. If it gets even lower it can lead to brain damage or even death, and if the Slated tries to become violent their Levo will automatically knock them unconscious. Slateds are therefore forced to always remain happy and peaceful or risk their own health.

Added DiffLines:
* LoveTriangle: [[spoiler: In the last book, Shattered, one develops with Kyla having to choose between Ben and Aidan.]]
Added DiffLines:
* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler: Nico deliberately made Kyla (or Lucy, as she was called at the time) develop two separate identities: Rain and Lucy. One was right handed and the other left-handed because memory is linked to which hand you use and therefore when she was Slated they only wiped out the Lucy personality, leaving Rain's memories to re-emerge.]]

Adding lots of tropes.
* AmnesiaDanger: After first being Slated, people have no idea about how to stop themselves from being hurt - they have to be re-taught everything from "look both ways before crossing the road," to "knives are sharp and can hurt you." For this reason Slateds have to stay at the facility for a while before they can go live with their new families.
* AmnesiaMissedASpot: It seems Kyla's memory has not been entirely wiped after all... although that's supposed to be impossible.
* BlankSlate: Slating turns you into one - that's why it's called "Slating".
* DangerousSixteenthBirthday: After turning sixteen a person is no longer eligible for Slating, so if they get into serious trouble the government will just execute them instead.
* Dystopia: The UK of this series is not a very nice place. At all.
* LaResistance: Free UK, also called the Anti-Government Terrorists (AGT).

''Slated'' is the first book in a YoungAdult series written by Teri Terry.
Kyla's memory has been erased, her personality wiped blank, her memories lost forever.
She's been Slated.
The government claims she was a terrorist, and that they are giving her a second chance - as long as she plays by their rules. But echoes of the past whisper in Kyla's mind. Someone is lying to her, and nothing is as it seems. Who can she trust in her search for the truth?
The sequels are ''Fractured'' and ''Shattered''.

!!This series contains examples of:
* IdentityCrisis: Kyla has one, given that all of her memories are gone.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Slating wipes all of your memories clean.
