Big Dragon Beyond Scared Straight tells a tale of redemption and transformation. It focuses on characters facing their fears and making positive changes in their lives.
One inspiring story is of a boy who was headed towards a life of burglary. After the program, he saw the inmates' living conditions and the lack of freedom. He was so moved that he started learning skills like carpentry at a local community center. He is now working as an apprentice in a furniture - making workshop. Another great story is about a girl who was into underage drinking and partying all night. The program showed her the real consequences of such behavior. She now promotes healthy lifestyle choices among her peers.
Not sure exactly, but perhaps it involves a character's journey of finding courage and breaking free from being constantly scared. That's just a guess though.
Naruto is a must - have main character. But I think Shikamaru could also be a main character. His laid - back yet intelligent nature could be interesting to explore in this type of fanfiction. Maybe Sakura too, as she has grown from a somewhat naive girl to a strong kunoichi and could have her own take on the 'scared straight' experience. Plus, there could be some new characters introduced specifically for this fanfiction, like a tough instructor in the 'scared straight' program.
One possible plot could be that Naruto and his friends are sent to a 'scared straight' type of program in the Hidden Leaf Village. They are shown the harsh realities of what could happen if they continue on a wrong path, like if they were to give in to the temptations of the dark side of ninja skills. This experience makes them more determined to uphold the values of their village.
Sure. There are many cases where kids on the verge of getting into serious trouble turned their lives around. For example, one teen was constantly skipping school and getting into minor fights. After going through the Beyond Scared Straight program, he saw the harsh reality of prison life up close. This experience made him realize that he didn't want to end up behind bars. He started attending school regularly and worked on his anger management. Another success story involves a girl who was involved in petty theft. The program showed her the consequences of a life of crime. She was so shocked that she completely stopped stealing and focused on building a positive life for herself.
Some fanfictions in this category might explore the idea of alternate punishments within the wizarding world. Like instead of Azkaban, there could be a new form of rehabilitation where the wrongdoers are put through a series of magically - enhanced moral challenges. This could be inspired by the 'Beyond Scared Straight' concept of extreme deterrence.
Somewhat effective. While the shock of seeing prison life can deter some kids, others might just be temporarily scared. However, for many at - risk youth, the vivid portrayal of the consequences in these stories can be a strong deterrent. They see the inmates' lack of freedom, the violence in the prison environment, and it makes them realize that the path of crime is not something they want to follow. But it also depends on the individual kid's personality and the support system they have outside of this experience.
Some stories might involve kids facing the harsh reality of prison life. They could see the tough inmates and the strict prison environment, which scares them straight into changing their delinquent ways.
