I completely agree with you. And no making out with a best friend is not normal, least ways for anyone I know. Number four doesn't bother me as much because I just consider it to be another cliche. But some of the things people write are stupidly unrealistic. If I could add to this list I would just add the bully threatening/blackmailing one the protagonists into doing something. The latest one I read, the bully blackmailed the protagonist into being his bitch on the side by threatening to harm the protagonist's crush. Then the same thing happens. The protagonists goes along with it, becomes a victim, the crush finds out... blah blah blah. It's annoyingly predictable.
