I think the biggest character flaw she has is that she was a little bit of a two-timer, even if she was apparently a virgin until season five.
the only constant thing Lana had going for her, and it doesn't paint her in a good light. She likes to have two boyfriends-- the main current one and the "backup" one.
Basically she has this pattern for her relationships which goes like this:
She starts up a new romance with a hot guy... is happy for a while. But then once she's settled into the relationship, she starts to get unsatisfied and starts second-guessing why she's with this guy. She starts up all kinds of drama about it too... She then heads for her "backup boyfriend", which is usually Clark Kent. She emotionally (but not physically) cheats on her current boyfriend when she attempts to woo Clark Kent into being her new main boyfriend. She then leaves that main boyfriend after much drama ensues. But Clark Kent then does something to piss her off... so she regulates Clark to being the "backup" again and goes off to find herself another new boyfriend. The cycle starts all over again.
Basically, she was utterly incapable of being in a steady relationship at all. Even when she became a kickass dark angel in season 6 to 7.
Granted, some of those could be excused because she was a teenager for most of the time... and Teenagers are notorious for being in highly unstable relationships. But even some of those relationships were bad for her, espeically since the large majority of them were with older men who had no business being in an relationship with a child like her... even if she was at the age of consent according to Kansas' law. *rolls eyes*
It's as if the writers only use her character to manfcuture relationship drama... in fact most of her character's story seem to be all about the relationships rather than being about her personal character development.
found a song that seems to fit her very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8Gx4ntUK1A
