Among the few humans who sympathize with Jenny are her friends, prettyboy Brad Carbunkle and his annoying little brother Tuck. In one instance, she accidentally burned down her school due to the Krusts slingshotting a braid into her hand-blaster, causing it to shoot all over the place, while in another case she shoved the Krusts into a locker with her metallic fists of fury, before punching the boys and teachers who were making fun of her. Jenny sets out to protect the world, but due to her being an emotional teen addled with virtual hormones, it's not an easy task, especially with the popular girls, the Krust Cousins, always looking to humiliate her. Nora then reluctantly agrees to let Jenny talk to boys and purchases her a cell phone, but implants cannot be placed on her and procreation is forbidden in the event of male-teenage Robot terms. When Nora finds this out, she forbids it Jenny enters battle mode and threatens Nora, to which she sternly says, "Don't you point your weapons at me, young lady!" Jenny, who was acting all tough a few seconds ago, immediately simpers and goes on her bed to cry, with tears trickling down the windshield wipers on her eyes. Jenny was created by crazy scientist Nora Wakeman and is supposed to protect the Earth however, Jenny doesn't want to protect the world, and instead wants to do generic teenage girl things, like having a cell phone, talking to boys, going to the mall, getting implants, and engaging in emotional exchange of physical data.

The show revolves around the life of XJ-9 (or "Jenny", as she prefers to call herself), who lives in the city of Tremerton in the far-off future of 2072. Oldschool Nickelodeon fans considered MLAATR to be one of the network's last watchable shows, shortly before they rebranded their image in the mid-late 2000s by closing Nick Studios, bringing back SpongeBob for watered-down post-movie episodes, squeezing every last drop out of SpongeBob reruns, focusing less on Nicktoons and more on "hip and cool" Schneiderverse tweencoms like iCarly, Zoey 101, and Victorious, and releasing alleged "crimes against comedy" like Fanboy and Chum Chum, The Naked Brothers Band, and The Mighty B!. The show addressed hard-hitting issues of discrimination and anti-robotism, as human society usually treats Jenny with contempt, bad luck, and humiliation. XJ-9, or "Jenny Wakeman" in Robotilian, lives a double life of world-saving and generic teen girlisms, and acts as an interspecies exchange student in her human-majority high school. My Life as a Teenage Robot is a 2003 Robotilian animated documentary on the life of XJ-9, the robot daughter of scientist Nora Wakeman who was created to engage in galactic warfare with the Cluster, an empire of alien robots who wish to smite the human race and replace inferior hand-drawn cartoons with superior Flash-animated automatons like Kappa Mikey and El Tigre. Upon watching My Life as a Teenage Robot for the first time, thousands of young boys, who had previously felt ambivalent towards girls and their "cooties", reported having butterflies in their stomach and feeling an urge to "protect Jenny's smile" from the hardships that human society threw her way.
