Hi everyone!
I'm looking for *realistic* ideas a teenager might face that are dramatic and/or depressing. Why, you probably may not ask? I recently wrote a fairly short story (About 30 pages) and am posting it to a private website of mine.
So far, I've got these:
-Main character, Alexa, finds out she's been told a lie her whole life (that she was adopted)... not too dramatic, but that's how she takes it
-Alexa's adoptive mother dies in a car accident that Alexa was also hurt in
-While in the hospital, A (Alexa)'s best friend, Naomi, dumps her. (The friendship kind of 'dump.')
-Alexa goes to her house to collect things cuz the Social worker instructed her to, but the house is entirely engulfed in a huge, blazing fire that destroys everything that was in the house
-Alexa's crush starts dating another girl
Marvelous, indeed! :p
So what do you think, and what are some other ideas? Thank you!
(At the end, Alexa gets adopted by a splendid half-Black, half-Caucasian family that all get along, and Alexa becomes best friends forever with her new sister...)
