Can you recommend some non - adult 'bad neighborhood' stories?

Answer 1

Well, there could be stories about the challenges in a bad neighborhood like high crime rates. For example, a story of a young person trying to start a community garden to bring some positive change but facing opposition from local gangs who don't want any improvements. They might try to vandalize the garden, and the young person has to find ways to protect it and get the community involved to support the project.

Answer 2

Another story could be about a journalist who moves into a bad neighborhood to report on the real issues there. She discovers that there are a lot of families struggling with poverty and lack of proper education facilities. She writes stories about it to raise awareness, but she also faces threats from some people in the neighborhood who don't want their problems exposed.

Answer 3

A story might be about a group of kids growing up in a bad neighborhood. They are constantly exposed to drug dealing on the streets. But instead of getting involved, they form a club where they study together and try to stay away from the bad influences. They might face bullying from the kids involved in the drug scene, but they keep strong and eventually some of them manage to get scholarships to better schools.
