Is a Theme of Drug Addiction Too Mature for a Dramatic Story for 5th/6th Graders?
Question by Squaa: Is a theme of drug addiction too mature for a dramatic story for 5th/6th graders?
I am currently writing a dramatic children’s story about a dog that is raised as a fighting dog and then is released from that environment. If I continue down this path, one of the dogs’ owners will be a drug addict. Although the dug addiction would definitely be small undertone, there would be many obvious references to drugs throughout the story. I could feasibly avoid this path, but it would make things a bit difficult, as the character’s drug addiction serves as a catylist for numerous events and it provides a source of conflict and tension in an otherwise peaceful part of the story. What do you all think?
