'''Basic Trope''': Children don't ask adults for help due to fear of being labelled as a tattletale.
* '''Straight''': Bobby is getting bullied by [[TheBully Alice]]. When he tells the teacher, Mr. Troperson, he gets accused of being a snitch.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bobby is [[BullyBrutality nearly beat to death by Alice]] and comes to Mr. Troperson crying and visibly injured. [[AdultsAreUseless Mr. Troperson]] ''still'' says he's being a tattletale.
* '''Downplayed''': Alice ends up breaking a rule, and Bobby tells Mr. Troperson. He's asked to mind his own business, since the rule wasn't all that serious.
* '''Justified''':
** Bobby is telling on Alice for little to no reason.
** Bobby has a history of telling on people for little to no reason. When he ''does'' have a problem, [[CryingWolf people don't believe him]].
** Mr. Troperson [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale doesn't think that girls can be bullies]].
** Alice is a VillainWithGoodPublicity.
* '''Inverted''': Bobby is praised for telling an adult about his problem.
* '''Subverted''': Bobby gets worried that adults will call him a snitch, but Mr. Troperson believes him.
* '''Double Subverted''': When he gets home, though, his mom Claire accuses him of snitching due to this incident.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Bobby tells multiple adults that he's getting bullied. Some believe him, some say he's "telling on" the bully.

* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': Bobby finds an adult that will take him seriously.
* '''Discussed''': ???

* '''Played for Drama''':
** Bobby becomes an ExtremeDoormat since no one will believe him.
** The abuse gets to be too much, and Alice either kills Bobby (or [[DrivenToSuicide Bobby kills himself]]). Mr. Troperson [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone has to live with the guilt]] due to knowing [[MurderByInaction he did nothing to stop it]], even when he knew what was happening.
