* MovingTheGoalposts: In yet another, particularly cruel case of Medusa being a SadistTeacher: for years she told Rebecca that she didn't cast her with decent roles because senior-year students have casting priority since they are graduating. However, when Rebecca finally reached senior-year, and even was the ''only'' senior-year girl in Medusa's class... Medusa ''still refused to cast Rebecca AT ALL'', [[BlatantLies claiming]] that Rebecca was too tall (when in fact she wasn't).

* HateSink: Rebecca's High School Theater Teacher, Medusa, had extremely few (if any) redeemable qualities. She was controlling, superficial, verbally-abusive, petty, and spiteful. She had a very clear dislike towards Rebecca since day one that never got better over the years, despite Rebecca proving many times to be a capable student and actress. Medusa's dislike of Rebecca was so bad, that Rebecca's mother one time told her how Medusa admitted to deliberately allowing a bully to get away with tormenting her, even ''[[BlamingTheVictim blaming Rebecca for being bullied]]''. Essentially, Medusa was nothing more than an AlphaBitch [[SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp all grown up]].

* MamaBear: In "Bitten While Defending A Friend", after being shown a bite-mark, Rebecca's mom chewed out the principal for punishing Rebecca for fighting a bully in the name of a friend. It didn't make the demerits go away, though.

It didn't make the demerits go away, though. In "My Crazy Theatre Teacher", the way Rebecca spoke about her mom's interaction with Medusa outright implies that she was on the verge of throttling Medusa for defending a student who was antagonizing Rebecca. Even stating that trying to shift the blame onto Rebecca for being bullied was a brave thing to do in front of her mom.

* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Deconstructed, Rebecca reveals that her theatre teacher, Medusa, often played favorites with her students and always sabotaged Rebecca's theatre prospects out of spite and pettiness. However, this caused problems for the students later on because they were only successful in theatre because Medusa was the one in charge. In "WORST PRANK Ever Played On Me!!", Rebecca reveals that when a different teacher was leading the play, Rebecca got a starring role because she was the only one in Medusa's class who knew how to sing, and Medusa's favorites were forced to work backstage, which was something they didn't normally do and were promptly underskilled at.

* AnAesop: '''My Crazy Theatre Teacher''', toxic and abusive relationships can only end when you leave them. Rebecca put up with a lot of abuse from Medusa because she hoped she would get a leading role but chose to leave after learning from her classmates that the teacher was deliberately sabotaging her theatre career for petty reasons. After leaving Medusa's class, her confidence grew exponentially, she was happy again, and she was way more successful in theatre than she ever was with Medusa.
