The website also hosted several webgames.It's My Life was also a series where kids discuss topics. Though the website has been discontinued, the YouTube channel is still up.Not to be confused with the fanfic Its My Life. | |

Sugar Causes Hyperactivity | |
It's My Life (PBS) (Website) / int_10e49640 | comment |
Sugar Causes Hyperactivity: In You're in Charge, giving Billy some cake causes him to become so hyperactive he morphs into a ball and literally bounces off the walls, knocking over a soda can and injuring himself. | |

Purely Aesthetic Gender | |
It's My Life (PBS) (Website) / int_164583e3 | comment |
Purely Aesthetic Gender: Played straight for Beat the Bully. You choose between a male or female player character, but the game plays the exact same regardless of who you pick. In an odd variant, the game also features a case of "Purely Aesthetic Enemy"; you choose either Krog or Snidra as your competitor in the race, yet the game gives you questions about both bullies (or general questions not mentioning either). It's entirely possible to select Krog, then only receive scenarios involving Snidra (and vice versa). | |

The Blank | |
It's My Life (PBS) (Website) / int_1b5c9c48 | comment |
The Blank: An odd unintentional case in the article "Middle School: Stan and Sarah". The page features a photograph meant to represent the two children, but it's so overexposed their faces (and most of Stan's body) are completely obscured by white light. | |

Alpha Bitch | |
It's My Life (PBS) (Website) / int_22a27b19 | comment |
Alpha Bitch: While her popularity is not dwelled upon much, Beat the Bully's Snidra otherwise fits this trope to a T. She exemplifies the more psychological types of bullying: she spreads lies about other students, purposefully ostracizes people, makes fun of them behind their back, and insults their looks. Other kids, like Jenny Jupiter, are so intimidated by her they join in on her bullying so she doesn't target them. | |

Too Smart for Strangers | |
It's My Life (PBS) (Website) / int_236846ce | comment |
Too Smart for Strangers: Among the challenges you're tasked with as a child home alone in You're in Charge are random events where someone will either knock on the door or call the house phone. Unless they're a family friend (who knows the family password of "Luna") or delivering a specific package your mom ordered, the game will repeatedly inform you, regardless of the option you pick, that the correct move is to refuse to open the door or speak to any of them. | |

Disappeared Dad | |
It's My Life (PBS) (Website) / int_28cd01ca | comment |
Disappeared Dad: While You're in Charge makes it clear that your character and Billy are being raised by their mother, who just happens to be The Ghost for the purposes of the game, a father is never mentioned. The player character being next in the chain of authority after their mother suggests he's completely absent from their lives or at least in a situation making him physically unavailable to take her place (like military service or long-term hospital care). | |

Lovable Alpha Bitch | |
It's My Life (PBS) (Website) / int_3287773c | comment |
Lovable Alpha Bitch: One of the scenarios in Beat the Bully involves a girl named Jenny Jupiter who's nice to the player character by herself, but partakes in Snidra's bullying when she's around. The correct answer reveals Jenny really does like you, but siding with Snidra makes her feel more powerful. The resulting paragraph ends on the note that one day she might stand up for herself. | |

Clicking on his immune system also represents the germs and white blood cells in his body as armless circular/blob-shaped Cephalothoraxes with faces, legs, and shoes. | |

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The player character and their little brother Billy in You're in Charge have this dynamic. Your explicit goal is to make the right decisions as you mind the house in Mom's absence, while Billy has to be actively distracted from playing in the fireplace and wants to play outside in the dark. Potentially inverted if one deliberately chooses all the incorrect options, making both of you Foolish Siblings. | |

Space Western: Tough Crush Canyon takes place on the moon of a planet called Lonestar 3, yet the visuals depict cowboy-hatted youths and a rocky desert environment resembling those seen in the western United States. Characters also speak in a stereotypically "country" manner, with dialogue written phonetically at points to convey their accents ("ya" instead of "you", "pardner" instead of "partner", etc.) | |

Game-Favored Gender: In Tough Crush Canyon, there's a heavy imbalance between the possible paths towards a Good Ending and Downer Ending between the two genders. Playing as a girl, the only one way to obtain the bad ending is to try to figure out Cal's feelings towards you without asking him, followed by you agreeing to the plan of putting Sand Snake on Lucy's bed. Playing as a boy, if Luke ever finds out your crush on Susie, you can only achieve a Bittersweet Ending at best. Further more, there's multiple ways to receive the bad ending unlike the story meant for girls. | |

Bizarrely, while helping them in these scenarios does grant points, you aren't penalized for not helping them either. | |
