Brutal Honesty: In "The Truth and Nothing But the Truth", Jamal lies in order to get a job on the school newspaper as an advice columnist. When he is no longer able to lie, he begins being too honest. After learning how much the truth can hurt, Jamal apologizes to the people he insulted.

Growing Up Sucks
 C-Bear and Jamal / int_57efd4c4
comment
Growing Up Sucks: In "Big", Jamal turns 10 and decides that he's too old to bring C-bear to school with him. In response, C-Bear invokes this trope by showing Jamal a vision of him as an adult — working under a Bad Boss (who turns out to be C-Bear over an intercom), then coming home to find himself married to his school principal (who demands that he do all of the household chores while she takes a nap). Adulthood might not mean complete freedom to do whatever you want, but it generally does mean having the freedom to refrain from marrying a complete Jerkass. Then again, C-bear may have been somewhat biased after Jamal wanted to leave him behind.

Obfuscating Stupidity: "Dumbing Down" has Jamal convincing Maya to act dumb and lower her test scores before she loses all her friends (who don't get grades as good as hers). C-Bear tells Jamal that it's wrong to make Maya reduce her intelligence in order to please others.
