** Carla doesn't get enough attention because her {{annoying younger sibling}}s get all of it, and acting like this is her way to get attention.

** After Carla crosses the line too many times, Alice and Bob decide to stop her behaviors in the fear of she will grow up like the aforementioned example or the "Played For Drama" below. They start sheltering her by giving her a hormone blocker, cutting off all of her social media contacts, using parental control when she browses everything on the internet (if she is still allowed to access the internet), [[ParentalFashionVeto giving away all of her "inappropriate" clothes]] to force her to only wear modest and boring clothes, and homeschooling her, or send her to a religious boarding school, or even special education.

** Carla is going beyond talking back and whining, as she's involved with hard drugs and dangerous people, frequently runs away from home, has repeatedly come home blackout drunk, is dating a man who is significantly older than her, is a notorious and incorrigible thief, and has used or threatened to use a FalseRapeAccusation to evade consequences or exact revenge for attempts to rein her in on multiple occasions. She is absolutely out of control, and people are prepared for the worst.

** Carla is seen years later as an adult and has not changed a bit, as she is still an ill-tempered, drama-prone, lazy brat who burns bridges left and right, is utterly incapable of sincerely taking responsibility for any of her many bad acts, regularly manufactures major life crises for attention, is constantly starting trouble with other people for no good reason, rarely works or keeps a job for very long, and mooches off of her boyfriends until they get sick of her shit or catch her cheating on them (and she is notorious for faking pregnancies to try and drag them back in). She is almost universally disliked, and the only people who still willingly associate with her are her equally shitty and trashy friends, thirsty orbiters who want to sleep with her, and the rare few outsiders who buy her latest sob story and give her the benefit of the doubt (though they seldom last long, and are usually the subject of social media posts about "fake friends" and "toxic people" whenever they do fall out with her).
