** Diamond expressing that she reason she hates Apple Bloom most is that she is a blank flank...because she hates her own cutie mark; she sees it was a sad reminder of her mother's death and the friendship she and Apple Bloom once had.

*** Filthy Rich scolding her for what she did, saying that her mother would have been disappointed in her.
*** Mr. & Mrs. Joyous refusing to let her anywhere near their foal on account of her being a manipulative liar, making her cry on their doorstep for an hour before telling her to get off their property. Hate Diamond or not for it, but it still hurts.
*** In the end, she admits that she did go too far, and that she'd like to change, but she feels that there's no going back for her now and wonders when exactly she can.

* Filthy Rich admitting to Apple Bloom that he was "afraid" of his because he reminded him so much of Crystal Eyes, going as far as to equate it with seeing her ghost.

** Sweetie Belle regretting that they didn't make up before they died.
** Scootaloo, while admitting that she can't forgive her for all that side did to them, says that she doesn't hate her anymore, and promises that she will help Silver Spoon recover and to make sure that Diamond's efforts would't be in vain.

* While visiting Silver Spoon in the hospital, she tells Scootaloo that what just happened to her was nothing compared to her's and Diamond Tiara's experiences at camp, where bullies dunked their heads in the toilets and made them lick the rims, threw the teddy bear her mother gave her into a campfire to roast marshmallows over, and leave her tied to a tree in the forest with her glasses broken, made everything the two did seem tame in comparison.

* Crimson realizing that his old bully Cheerilee is his daughter's teacher, and Cheerilee finding out that her student's father is her old victim. Even before seeing her again after all these years, Crimson winces at ''the very mention of her name''.

*** What's just as bad is Scootaloo's reaction. Most of the bullying she received was because of her lack of a cute mark, and she thought that it would all stop once she got hers. The thought that somepony would get bullied ''for'' her cutie mark never crossed her mind, and she started to worry that nothing would change if she got a mark that nopony liked.

* Scootaloo had been told by an expert something that she dreaded hearing: her undeveloped wings meant that she wouldn't fly like a normal Pegasus.

* Apple Bloom witnessing a drunk Filthy Rich fighting with Big Macintosh when the latter went to comfort him, saying that he was a terrible father who pushed his daughter away because she reminded her too much of his dead wife.

** During the events of "Family Appreciation Day", she mentions that she ''almost'' joined Apple Bloom in bouncing around in bunny suits when she was asked by her to do so. She expressed her desire to be four years old again and relive the happy memories of her and her former best friend playing, but she ended turning the offer down because she was jealous of Apple Bloom in that, while her parents died, she has support from the rest of her family, in contrast to her father, Filhty Rich, who ignores her.

** Her worry about why her mother isn't back from the train yet, her father crying and drinking himself away, and a police mare coming and mentioning her.

* The Cake twins happily shouting "Daimon!" at Diamond's corpse. They are too young to understand the situation, and they assume that she's just sleeping.

-->"Diamonds are precious gems. Maybe the most precious of them all. When Crystal Eyes gave birth to my little girl, I thought she was the most priceless thing I ever had. We called her Tiara because she was our princess; our little bundle of joy to love and spoil. I promised myself I would make her the happiest filly in the world. I failed in doing that the moment my wife and our unborn son died. I pushed her away because I couldn’t accept the mare that I loved all my life was dead, along with our baby. I let my daughter suffer the loss of her mother alone, without me to hold her. I will live with that for the rest of my life in shame, and my actions created a rift between us that was never filled. A-a-and yet-t-t she l-lo-loved me-e-e...she s-still loved...''AH!'' ''(breaks down for a moment before recomposing himself)'' I...I...I know that my daughter was...not the kindest of ponies. Maybe even cruel to some of you. But please, it wasn’t her fault. It was mine. Don’t hate my daughter. Please, just hate me. Hate a stallion who failed his family. Hate the one who never showed his daughter enough love to change her. Hate me, not my precious daughter. Please...I don’t think...” ''(breaks down; Big Macintosh helps him off the podium)''

** Cheerilee breaking down crying like a baby when she finally realized the monster she had become. She then said that she ran home to her family begging them to forgive her for every horrible thing she did.

** And before that, when Diamond worried about where her mother was when she didn't come home from the train she was on.
-->''We were suppose to go to the zoo today, all of us, but you’re not home. I’m…I’m really scared, Mommy…please come home.''

* Filthy Rich admitting to Apple Bloom that he was "afraid" of her because he reminded him so much of Crystal Eyes, going as far as to equate it with seeing her ghost.

* Filthy Rich breaking down during his eulogy.

* Silver Spoon getting beaten up by the Daze twins, who say that she should have died along with Diamond Tiara.

* Crimson reuniting with Cheerilee, his old bully from high school. He still remembered the trauma he went through, and his reaction when meeting her again was that of ''running in total fear''.

* Apple Bloom finds Diamond Tiara's diary and reads the latest entry in it, which had her excited about getting to spend the holidays with her father during the holidays for the first time since her mother and brother died. She thought it would be a chance for them to reconnect, but she would not get the chance to.

* Diamond Tiara's diary
** Diamond's heartbroken entry from when her mother and unborn brother died and how her father shoved her away in their dark moment.

** Apple Bloom skimming through the entries detailing Diamond and Silver Spoon's horrible experiences at the camp. She had never heard of the horrendous things the bullies did to them, and got more and more sick as she read each entry.

** Diamond's rant about how Apple Bloom scolded her for bossing her friends around when in fact ''they'' were the ones who started the fight, and vowing to make her former friend's life miserable for backstabbing her. Apple Bloom realized the truth behind what happened that day, and she realized that ''she'' made Diamond Tiara a bully.

** Diamond expressing that she reason she hates Apple Bloom most is that she is a blank flank...because she hates her own Cutie Mark; she sees it was a reminder of her mother's death and the friendship she and Apple Bloom once had.

* While visiting Silver Spoon in the hospital, she tells Scootaloo that what just happened to her was nothing compared to her's and Diamond Tiara's experiences at camp, where bullies dunked their heads in the toilets and made them lick the rims, throw the teddy bear her mother gave her into a campfire to roast marshmallows over, and leave her tied to a tree in the forest with her glasses broken, all because made anything the two did seem tame in comparison.
** And they were bullied all because they were rich, even though they never actually did anything to deserve such treatment, and these experiences convinced Diamond and Silver that they could only trust rich ponies like each other. It just goes to show how often society creates its own monsters.

-->'''Scootaloo:''' What kind of ponies would do that?

* Silver Spoon trying to commit suicide by getting whitely a carriage out of SurvivorsGuilt for Diamond Tiara dying to save her from one.

''Why? Why are they dead? I want my Mommy and my brother back! Mommy was gonna show me how to pose like a real model! We finally came up with a name for my brother, Golden Pockets! We are gonna be best friends forever! I was gonna hold him and love him! I want them back!''\\

*** What's just as bad is Scootaloo's reaction. Most of the bullying she received was because of her lock of a cute mark, and she thought that it would all stop once she got hers. The thought that somepony would get bullied ''for'' her cutie mark never crossed her mind, an she started to worry that nothing would change if she got a mark that nopony liked.

** Her recounting of when she was bullied in middle school for her cutie mark, which her peers saw as a sign that she wanted to be part of the school "system" they hated. Because of it, she couldn't help but hate herself, and she would often punch a tree until her hooves bled and dreamed of tortuting her tormenters no matter how graphic it got.

* Scootaloo had been told by an expert something that she dreaded hearing: her undeveloped wings meant that she wouldn't fly like a normal pegasus.
