This will often lead to An Aesop there's a fine line between snitching on someone because you want to get them in trouble and telling an adult because someone has done something legitimately wrong or because there's an emergency. Still, The Stool Pigeon will not be very popular. Can lead to 'Could Have Avoided This!' Plot if an adult tells a kid they should've talked to them from the very beginning. In works where the protagonist is a child, this trope is frequently used to keep the plot moving along in situations where an adult would be both able and willing to solve the problem if they were told about it, but from a narrative point of view, the child should have to solve it themselves. The end result is usually the child taking matters into their own hands, sometimes resulting in disaster. The child may interpret it as not being able to talk to an adult about any problem at all for fear of being labeled a tattletale, even one where an adult would be able to help. In some cases, this trope is reinforced by a teacher, parent or other authority figure who's tired of the kids tattling on each other for everything and anything, but it can backfire.
