Line 34:
* ''[[Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.]]''. In all fairness, it was written in 1970, when discussing things like periods and puberty outside of health class was still somewhat taboo. [[Judy Blume]] was somewhat notorious for tropes like this, which gave a coronary to the [[Moral Guardians]] of the day, but back then the intent was to show girls that was all OKAY.
* In ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', Daenerys suddenly starts acting very hormonal in ''A Dance with Dragons''.
* Used heartbreakingly in the Lois Lowry YA book ''A Summer to Die''
* In the ''[[Discworld]]'' "witches" plotline, both Magrat and Verence fall under this trope. As in many of the Discworld books, it's [[Played for Laughs]] (and Verence and Magrat are both presumably out of their teens, if not by much.)
* ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' ([[Trope Overdosed|of course]]): Molly Carpenter is a [[Perky Goth]] version of this. When she first becomes important to the story, she's dropped out of school, gotten a bunch of tattoos and piercings, started hanging around with the wrong crowd, and dresses like, in the protagonist's words, "Frankenhooker." She avoids going home whenever possible because any conversation she has with her mother turns into a shouting match inside of ten seconds, and develops a bit of a crush on Harry mostly because [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|her mother hates him]]. {{spoiler|She also started using [[Black Magic]]; this, naturally, does ''not'' go well. On the plus side, when she ends up as Harry's apprentice, she has to follow his rules moderating the worst of her behavior.}}
Line 42:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Given that the murder victim in [[Twin Peaks]] is one, it's only natural that the scenes focusing on her high school peers would play out like a high school soap opera about
* ''[[8 Simple Rules]]''. Just ''8 Simple Rules''. The elder daughter in particular is almost as stereotyped as you can get, and a complete [[The Ditz|airhead]] to boot.
* Pick a [[Disney Channel]] show. ''Any'' Disney Channel show.
