OP: Yeah, I get that. The scene phase of American youth glorifies this troubled mindset, like no other person can have issues without it being the root of all problems. I see it a lot in self harm fics, where there's actual hormonal reasons for self harm, especially stemming from depression or other chemical disorders, but it get's glorified as this catchall for sad teens. Like, I'm a Stiles fan from Teen Wolf, the amount of fics where he cuts himself because Scott's a dick, just that, no other reason, are so abundant. It's annoying and a little ignorant of mental disorders.
And I agree with sad endings, I don't see the point. Especially when it's sad just to be sad? There are a few that rewrote character deaths, like in SPN, that worked with the show, but I still didn't enjoy it.
