8	!!This film has the examples of:
9
10	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Cat's younger brother Pete.
11	* BathtubBonding: Cat and Grace bond this way.
12	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor:
13	-->'''Cat:''' ''[narrating]'' All I wanted was to impress him, to get his attention.\
14	''[wind [[MarilynManeuver blows her skirt up]] right as she's walking by William]''\
15	'''Cat:''' ''[narrating]'' Not exactly what I had in mind.
16	* TheCameo: Creator/MelanieGriffith appears in a brief, walk-on role.
17	* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: The girls all curtsy to their teacher as they enter school. Delilah does it in an exaggerated, mocking way.
18	* ForeignExchangeStudent: Grace is an exchange student from England.
19	* ForgottenBirthday: Cat's absentee dad forgets to call her on her birthday.
20	* GirlsHaveCooties: After Cat sneezes on Pete's food, he refuses to eat any more on account of it now being covered with her cooties.
21	* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: Cited by Delilah in reference to Grace: "The only reason those fucking imbeciles let her into our class is because of that accent. They think if you roll your r's you have a higher IQ or something."
22	* TeachersPet: Eloise, who is hated by the other girls for it. Naturally, Cat's mom wishes she'd hang out with Eloise.
23	* TheirFirstTime: Well, Cat's first time at least. It ''probably'' wasn't William's first time.
24	* ToxicFriendInfluence: With the exception of goody-two-shoes Eloise, all the teens in Cat's life encourage her to engage in delinquent behavior, not that she needs too much encouragement in that area.
