What are some cliches that always happen in supernatural teen stories?

When the protagonist (usually female, and in majority time, the damsel in distress) embraces a new side of her that comes with being supernatural i.e. braver, headstrong, more confident. The most embarrassingly done cliche is that she starts out normal and loved (in the mad/deep kind of sense) by more than one main character, and when she becomes one of them (either a vampire/werewolf/witch) she gains even more love and admiration (despite not having done anything of great sacrifice). There is little to no struggle within their story arc nor character development. Sometimes it's much nicer to see a breakdown story rather than these kind of 'growth' stories i.e. I would very much prefer a story where a daredevil/stubborn (insert supernatural species here) learns the error of his/her way and comes to appreciate the earth life, including family/friends in a more loving sense. Supernatural stories also tend to lean towards invincibility (either physically or emotionally) within a character which is a bad thing to aim for. Characters are meant to be imperfect, not bullet proof.
