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

[Ali Ann]

What do you think are some of the clichés that happen in books when teenagers turn into supernatural creatures or supernatural things happen around them...What are some clichés that you like and find interesting if the author puts a nice spin on it or just makes it entertaining and what clichés make it impossible to even read because it's so overdone? Basically, I'm trying to work on a story that I eventually would like for people to read and if you were going to read a teen/supernatural/romance story what things would you hate to see happen and what things would you find interesting. Thanks!

Well, there's Vampires, Werewolves (I would like werewolves), sometimes there is animals but it would be interesting to see a twist in that.
There are many things these days that have a human turning into something.
Another suggestions would be to write from different character's point of view in each chapter.
So find a problem or event, write up some characters and get writing.
Good luck and hoped I helped,

The one that makes me gag is that the girl finds her experience has helped her gain a self-confidence she was formerly lacking, and the new her gets the attention of That Boy She Likes.

While you probably need a happy ending, does it have to be a boy-girl thing? I'd like to see the main character end up with a better understanding of all his parents gave up for him, or with a new purpose in working hard at school, or a fresh appreciation for the infinite variety that is Nature, or the knowledge that her best friend truly loves her, rather than some cute boy.

If you want an example of supernatural/teen cliches used and shown in a competent, interesting way without seeming condescending, check out Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I know, it's a show, not a book, but still a good example. the title makes you think it's gonna be overrun with badly done cliches, but it actually puts a fresh spin on some.
For romance, like someone else said, I hate it when a girl's achievements by the end are gaining self confidence through the love of some boy. As if she needs that seal of approval to make anything else she's done valid. That's where things like twilight really fail. There's more to life than love, and you don't need it to validate yourself.
For teen cliches I gotta say I hate the emphasis books/movies/tv shows ect put on cliques and social groups. Like, as if in every community there's a clear division of nerds/geeks/preps/jocks/goths/cheerleaders. Maybe in some places it's like that, but to me it seems a little ridiculous. Speaking as a teenager myself, teens rotate around a lot of different 'social groups', maybe drifting towards people who share their interests. Just like adults.
Though, of course there are bullies, people who acts like twats in front of their friends to try and seem cool ect. But in my experience, the line between them is never as big as popular media suggests.

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.
