* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The cliques all have only one girl, except for the Bullies, who don't have any (though, you could argue that Eunice belongs to them, since apparently, as heard in [[https://bully.fandom.com/wiki/Nerds one dialogue]], she hates the idea of being a nerd, and doesn't seem very bright and is mean-spirited):

* TeensAreShort: The adults in this game are ''massive'' compared to most of the characters.

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Once you beat up a faction leader, you are treated as TheDragon for the faction before moving on to the next one. Once you defeat every faction, you are treated as king of the school [[spoiler:until Gary puts the final pieces of his plan into place]].

* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Lola is an AlphaBitch and the only female Greaser, who wears midriff-baring outfits, [[NoDressCode even to school]], except during the winter. Zoe is more of a TankTopTomboy, but her top also bares her midriff. There is an unused model for Pinky in the game's data files that has this as well.

* BareYourMidriff: Zoe and Lola, except during the winter. There is an unused model for Pinky in the game's data files that has this as well.

* {{Wedgie}}: These are an available move in the game

** Though it would be justified if Jimmy did hate his mother, considering her negligent parenting and cruel attitude toward him, it's apparent he does care about her. Occasionally, some of his idle comments gives the impression he misses her. Furthermore, when he confronts Gary on the bell tower, he doesn't physically attack the latter until he says a derogatory remark about his mother.

** Though it would be justified if Jimmy did hate his mother, considering her negligent parenting and cruel attitude toward him, it's apparent he does care about her. His last straw when confronting Gary on the bell tower that leads him to physically attack him is a demeaning joke about his mom, and he will sometimes make idle comments about her that give the impression he misses her.

Only two kids at Bullworth are willing to befriend the freshman: well-meaning but effeminate pariah Petey Kowalski, and smart-talking [[TheSociopath sociopath]] Gary Smith. Jimmy soon discovers that Bullworth is in a state of constant turmoil due to [[MobWar the feuding of five cliques]]: [[BarbaricBully the Bullies]], [[MadScientist the Nerds]], [[AristocratsAreEvil the Preppies]], [[GreaserDelinquents the Greasers]] and [[JerkJock the Jocks]]. The headmaster, Dr. Crabblesnitch, always turns a blind eye towards the bullying that goes on, calling it "[[MiseryBuildsCharacter school spirit]]". Jimmy has no choice but to pacify the situation, one clique at a time, and keep his chances for a non-orange jumpsuited life afloat.

** Though it would arguably be justified if Jimmy did hate his mother, considering her negligent parenting and cruel attitude toward him, it's apparent he does still care for her. His last straw when confronting Gary on the bell tower that leads him to physically attack him is a demeaning joke about his mom, and he will sometimes make idle comments about her that give the impression he misses her.

* PermanentlyMissableContent: In the original version of the game, this would happen to any mission you failed to complete before moving on to the next chapter, preventing you from getting OneHundredPercentCompletion. This was corrected in the ''Scholarship Edition'' which allowed you to do any mission you missed after completing the main game.
** The Red Ninja outfit, the reward for completing "The Big Prank". Since you won't have another chance to do the mission if you skip it, you won't be able to get the outfit either (unless you decide to use cheats).

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Once you beat up a faction leader, you are treated as TheDragon for the faction before moving on to the next one. Once you defeat every faction, you are treated as king of the school [[spoiler:until Gary puts the final pieces of his plan into place]].

** Seth. Sure, his apparent only task is to endlessly run after jerkasses, bullies and future criminals around the school, but there's not a ''single'' line where he isn't yelling. "''EEEVILDOER!''"

* Karl counts, especially when he gets hurt.

* LetsGetDangerous: If you mess up the bull dance in front of cheerleaders enough times they will attack you.

* {{Jerkass}}: Apart from a few exceptions, ''[[WorldOfJerkass everybody]]''. The [[JerkJock Jocks]] are bullies who pick on anyone who isn't athletic enough. The Bullies are, obviously, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin bullies]] who pick on anyone weaker than they are. The Greasers are violent delinquents who'll bully or attack anyone who crosses their path, enters their territory or just looks at them funny. The Preps are all stuck-up rich kids who think all other people are inferior to them simply because they have less money and aren't above telling them so. The Townies will insult and fight any Bullworth Academy student and can be seen insulting or even fighting adults, which, in this game, is a major offense. The Townsfolk are pretty much grown-up Preps, and will treat you like shit simply for being underage. Even the ''Nerds'', who are pretty much at the bottom of the food chain, act pretty rudely to anyone who isn't one of them and will happily bully anyone weak enough for them to get away with doing so. The biggest jerkasses in the game, though, are Gary, Derby, Mr. Hattrick and Mr. Burton.

* KickTheDog: Happens few times in the game:
** The Nerds do a bit of this during Stronghold Assault. Algie taunts Petey for having no friends and being "weird" and calls you a useful idiot, and all throughout they deride Jimmy's intelligence.

** Seth. Sure, his apparent only task is to endlessly run after jerkasses, bullies and future criminals around the school, but there's not a ''single'' line where he isn't yelling. ''"EEEVILDOER!"''
* Karl also counts, especially when he gets hurt.
** During the end of mission "I run this clique now" speeches, Jimmy hams it up pretty good himself:

** Unlike the other protagonists in the future and preceding Rockstar games, once Jimmy gets a tattoo he won't be able to get it removed. People will also react to those tattoos since it's unorthodox for school kids to get tattoos. The Bullies, Greasers, and Townies will speak approvingly of them since [[DamnedByAFoolsPraise they don't really care for education or discipline]] while the other cliques (nerds, preppies, and jocks) will insult them. The prefects will yell at Jimmy for violating the school dress code and will only stop yelling at him if he wears something that covers his sleeves.

* CosmeticCatastrophe: Edna puts one some makeup for her date with Dr. Watts. It only makes her look even worse, ''literally'' like a clown.
