An important issue in Urban Youth Culture that is prominent in many areas of the world is low self-esteem because it makes lots of kids feel as if they are inferior to some individuals.
Examples of this are kids committing suicide because they are bullied and picked on by others and feel as if they have no importance in the world.
This issue arises in the Bluford series book The Bully. A boy named Darrell Mercer who feels he s small and weak, moves from Philadelphia to California, and starts a new school where he continuously bumps heads with the school bully Tyray who has repetitively harassed Darrell since his recent relocation which makes him dread his change to California even more. Darrell’s change becomes not so bad when he comes across a very attractive girl named Amberlynn who also attends the same school as him.
