''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWENB1OaGA9402PKzEVl0ow/featured Story Booth]]'' is a [=YouTube=] channel dedicated to animating and sharing short stories from various people's lives, usually those of young children and teenagers. Themes range from serious issues like bullying and mass shootings to more lighthearted and even humorous videos about embarrassing events, mistakes, or borderline ghost stories.

* HugeSchoolgirl: Jasmine from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ter__me0FTQ I Hated To Go Through School as the Tall Girl]] is six feet tall, and feels awkward and out of place because of it.

-->'''Anna:''' Do you even know what you're saying? Do you hear what is coming out of your mouth?
-->'''Leah:''' I hear it loud and clear. You are not supportive of me, you're a bad person, and I think you need to go away until you learn how to be a good friend.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Not by a whole lot but it's still there. While the overall tone and animation are similar to the main channel ''Story Booth College'' features a bit more adult content and situations and is mostly aimed at the late-teen demographic. If ''Story Booth'' is a PG movie with some occasionally questionable subject matter that can be enjoyed by the whole family ''Story Booth College'' is a PG-13 movie with more swearing and mature subjects that the parents wait to watch after all the young kids go to bed.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: [[https://youtu.be/dwxHDpyPdp4 I Did The Wrong Thing After Getting Bullied]] revolves around Sarah getting harassed badly in middle school. When she entered high school, she thoughtlessly took her anger out on random people, coming off as no better than her past aggressors, to which she admits herself.

* MoodWhiplash: This can result from watching several videos in a row due to the wide range of subject matter covered on the channel. One minute the viewer could be watching a silly story about a supposedly possessed doll, and the next minute be reeling in horror at a tale of extreme child abuse. All of the stories are submitted by real people recounting a past part of their lives after all, so this trope is pretty much unavoidable.

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: It's a series based around stories summited by college students so this is pretty much a given. In just [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myJdK2gMAfA&ab_channel=storyboothcollege the second story]] posted on the channel we have a girl and her friends who end up getting completely wasted while going to various parties which results in them being featured on an Instagram page focused on wild college kid shenanigans, much to their embarrassment.

Unlike many of the similar animated channels inspired by it, ''Story Booth'' gets all of its content from its own viewers through submissions, which ensures a higher quality of videos produced and less need to rely on clickbait titles and thumbnails. While ''Story Booth'' does have a few outlandish stories most of its videos are firmly grounded in reality and focus on real events that actually happened. Updates occur roughly once a week.

* AbusiveParents: A lot of these stories can involve uncaring or downright violent parental figures. [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mXS0_YMT6Y8 Mean Mom]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vtb64wZkzs 16 and Pregnant]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXpgu7Zaxl4 My 'Perfect' Dad Wasn't Who I Thought He Was]] are perfect examples of this.

* DrivenToSuicide: {{Discussed|Trope}} in both [[https://youtu.be/sG-WJueFR30?list=PLTv86vY0AuCuzwXs4WrQcb2kVXT_xA5Od My Friend Committed Suicide]] and [[https://youtu.be/n1iqxzn8zAw I Lost My Brother]], the former being narrated by [=YouTuber=] Katherout (Katherine Berry).

* KidsAreCruel: Quite a lot of stories revolve around childhood bullying. Sometimes they even reach BullyBrutality levels.

* ACupAngst: The girl in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDrkdxpaGMs I Was Made Fun Of For Being A Late Bloomer]] suffers from this when everyone at her school [[BigBreastPride starts developing early and begins teasing her over her flat chest]]. By the end of the video, she learns to accept her body for what it is and is less self-conscious about being [[PetitePride small]].

* AdultsAreUseless: PlayedForDrama. Depending on the video, adults are of no help to the narrator, either due to being clueless, busy, or apathetic.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Ashley from "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YrmQfvUNfg I Don't Look My Age But I'm In High School]]" is a high school junior, but due to being 4'11" with a "baby face" and hardly any curves, she looks like an eighth grader at the oldest.

* TroubledSympatheticBigot: Karim from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBUWzTESAKI I Didn't Like Gay People]] grew up in a setting filled with casual homophobia, causing him to accept without question that homosexuality is wrong. At one point, he beat up his friend for making advances towards him, though he is torn about whether that was right or wrong. Being socially ostracized in high school, then making LGBT friends in college, finally helps him overcome his homophobia.

* CelebrityEdition: Occasionally ''Story Booth'' will make a video focusing on a celebrity (mostly other famous Youtubers) such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXTO0rTpfks Lilly Singh]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmsmTQNPkSY Anthony Ramos]].
