* AdultsAreUseless: ZigZagged. While Babs' bullying goes for most of the episode unencumbered, Applejack points out that the ''entire plot'' [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot would've been resolved]] had the CMC told an adult instead of trying to handle things themselves. In the end, Babs promises to tell her sister about her own bullying problem. However, when she witnesses Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's bullying, Applejack does nothing but look enraged. [[BrokenAesop Instead]], Babs Seed handles things by scaring them off through intimidation, causing them to fall into mud (it isn't clear whether this result was intentional or not). Babs does threaten to tell the girls' mothers, but she never carries out this threat, and she was actually in no position to do so because she was about to leave town.

* BrokenAesop: The Cutie Mark Crusaders learn the Aesop that when being bullied, instead of retaliating they should tell an adult like Applejack who can handle the situation better [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded by Sweetie Belle]], who said that they should had told Applejack about Babs' bullying. This is enforced at the end of the episode when Babs Seed scares off two bullies by threatening to tell their parents. The problem here is that the adult Applejack is also present, and she doesn't do anything... and also, the bullies suffer an indirect humorous retaliation as Babs's intimidation causes them to fall into some mud. So an adult actually fails to do anything while deserved physical retaliation is shown as a satisfying thing.

* SchoolBullyingIsHarmless: Variant 3, and played with. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are clearly shown to not enjoy being bullied, but they are not shown to suffer any lasting harm, and the bully stops because of a single incident and never does it again. However, the focus is on the fact some people become bullies in response to bullying, which is treated as serious and avoiding it is the aesop of the episode. Babs Seed herself shows signs of psychological harm and was sent to Ponyville in the first place because of the bullying she suffered. While Applejack believes telling an adult will solve the problem, she also promises that she and the CMC will help if that doesn't solve the problem.
