- Most people would not have parents, or they'd have totally clueless dads whom they have to make food for, or they'd have absent, I'm-going-to-spoil-you-because-I-can't-be-physically-present parents. This is also known as Disappearing Parent Syndrome.
- Many people who we think are dead are actually alive and hiding somewhere.
- You might think you're oh-so-plain and boring, but really, you're incredibly pretty! Boys will chase after you! Scratch that, make it two boys!
- Many girls are constantly moving to remote, country towns where it may or may not rain a lot. They may complain a lot about the rain, or the lack of rain. Oh, and don't forget the hot, mysterious family nearby.
- Lots of people have cancer, and there is a notable lack of people with disabilities. Diseases, particularly the less glamorous autoimmune ones, are non-existent. Nobody ever gets bowel cancer, because that's just gross.
- Everybody is very pretty or hot.
- There are lots of mean girl cliques, and they're good at exercising their power and controlling everyone.
- Teachers don't exist.
- For the most part, school doesn't exist.
- If you go to a boarding school (and many people do), homework is never a burden or an obstacle when you're trying to plan something EPIC.
- Vampires are sexy, and so are zombies, werewolves, and possibly aliens.
- Even though you don't try, you're remarkably smart. You never have to worry about not knowing which verb to conjugate for French homework!
- Third world problems like starvation, poverty, and lack of sanitation do not exist. Everybody lives in the first world, and normally America.
- Cheerleaders are busty, blonde, and hot. Prom will make constant appearances, and is on everyone's brain.
- Do you have a broody, emo stalker? You're gonna fall in love with him over the next two books.
Any others, or have I covered them all? Leave thoughts in the comments! :)
Love it. But you forgot the government and they're trying to control everything. And there's a rebellion somewhere. :D
