The positive messages in scenes that include consent discussion are balanced with examples of poor decision making, such as the choice to have unprotected sex. There are multiple teen pregnancies, and a teen couple openly discuss getting an abortion. There are multiple discussions of masturbation and birth control. Prison guards are described beating inmates, and police are described beating suspects. Another teen is shot to death in a fight at school. A teen boy dies after being shot in the head.
He's also dealing with a friend killed by a member of a rival gang, a father who's in prison, and troubles in school consequent to his personal problems. Parents need to know that Concrete Rose, by Angie Thomas (prequel to the highly acclaimed The Hate U Give, which won a Coretta Scott King Author Award and was adapted for a 2018 movie) is about what happens when 17-year-old Maverick suddenly has to care for a 3-month-old infant boy who's the product of a one-night stand.
