    We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which teen drama boyfriends they absolutely hate. Here are some of their responses!

    Spoilers ahead!

    Warning: Some of the following contain mentions of sexual assault and abuse.

    1. Dan Humphrey from Gossip Girl

    Dan tells Serena he's made mistakes but never stopped loving her and Serena says "excuse me if I don't fall for that or you ever again"
    The CW

    "He was a manipulative, terrible person who hurt all his girlfriends and everyone around him with Gossip Girl. Serena wasn't perfect, but she deserved way better."

    2. Lucas Scott from One Tree Hill

    Lucas tries to apologize to Brooke and she tells him he's just like every other guy on the planet, a liar and a cheater, says, "Why don't you tell it to the girl you hooked up with last night?"
    The WB

    "He cheated on Brooke twice and then cheated on his fiancé too. He constantly blamed everything on his girlfriends and shamed them."

    3. Nate Jacobs from Euphoria

    Nate and Maddy
    HBO

    "He's physically and mentally abusive and overall toxic."

    4. Tristan Milligan from Degrassi: Next Class

    Tristan pushes Miles into a wall, "I want an explanation for what you did to me"
    Netflix

    "He invalidated Miles' bisexuality throughout their entire relationship, accused him of giving him an STI, slammed him against a wall, and called him a 'man whore.' He was the WORST boyfriend."

    5. Luca Hall from Grown-ish

    ABC

    "He's not the worst, but he doesn’t get as much hate as he should. He’s pretentious, obnoxious, and jealous."

    —ravenclawprefect1990

    6. Ezra Fitz from Pretty Little Liars

    Freeform

    "He was a full-grown adult who manipulated and took advantage of a teenage girl. He only started dating Aria because he was working on a book about Alison."

    —kevind4ac2ce8fe

    7. Felix Taggaro from One Tree Hill

    Felix says they should just skip the anger between them and cut right to the sex and Brooke replies, "How about we cut right to the slap?"
    The WB

    "He brought out Brooke's worst traits, treated everyone terribly, and was anti-gay. I was so glad when he left."

    —jkimoehl

    8. Riley Finn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    The WB

    "He had as much personality as a hard-boiled egg. He couldn't deal with the fact that Buffy was stronger and more special than he was. Plus, his whole initiative subplot added very little to the show."

    —stella93

    9. Duncan Kane from Veronica Mars

    Duncan reveals he knew his ex-girlfriend Meg was pregnant and has been lying to Veronica
    UPN

    "He let everyone walk all over Veronica and never took responsibility or apologized for anything he did. Plus, he was so boring. I cheered when he left!"

    —margolehane44

    10. Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl

    Chuck about to assault Jenny on the roof
    The CW

    "He traded Blair for a hotel, not to mention he tried to assault Jenny and Serena in the pilot. Everyone romanticizes him when he’s actually just the worst."

    —sassyherongraystairs

    11. Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries

    The CW

    "I know everyone loved his character, but let's admit it — the main reason he gets so much hype is because he's attractive. Being hot doesn't excuse his many, many mistakes."

    —hiitsnicetomeetyou

    12. Dean Forester from Gilmore Girls

    Dean yells at Rory for hanging out with Jess and Paris
    The WB

    "He was so possessive over Rory. He tried to start fights with literally any boy who talked to her and would always get mad when she focused more on school than him. He was just a jerk."

    —itssarahalise

    13. Xander Harris from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    The WB

    "He cheated on Cordy and tried to alter her mind with a spell, led Willow on, shamed Buffy, and talked down to Anya and left her at the altar. He was also super possessive and jealous. In my opinion, Oz punching him was one of the greatest moments of the show."

    14. Craig Manning from Degrassi: The Next Generation

    Craig and Ashley make up while Manny watches sadly
    CTV

    "He cheated on Ashley and treated Manny like crap."

    —dreamgirl456

    15. Matt Donovan from The Vampire Diaries

    Matt tells Caroline he doesn't like her and just stayed the night because he felt bad for her
    The CW

    "He's not the worst, but I don't like how he treated Caroline. He was super wishy-washy about his feelings and I'm glad they broke up."

    —justanotherfangirl101

    16. Finn Collins from The 100

    Raven and Finn kiss in front of Clarke, who was unaware they were together when she hooked up with Finn
    The CW

    "He cheated on Raven and constantly tried to manipulate Clarke. Plus, he was so holier-than-thou."

    —skylersunshineraes

    17. Jess Mariano from Gilmore Girls

    Rory and Jess fight over his black eye at Friday night dinner
    The WB

    "I know a lot of people hate Dean, but no one seems to talk about how much of a jerk Jess was. He was rude to pretty much everyone and never really tried to get along with Rory's family."

    —wndysn

    18. And finally, Tyler Lockwood from The Vampire Diaries

    Tyler leaves Caroline because he can't love her more than he hates Klaus
    The CW

    "Whenever he dated someone, he became super obsessed with them. He also left Caroline because his revenge on Klaus was more important than their relationship. Don't even get me started on him ignoring her phone calls for months!"
