As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Being Good: Juicy Central by Jada Jones
This is the series of inner city kids who get into situations that they need to learn from. Each character has their own story. Some of these kids make choices as to drink and the girls do get their hands on some alcohol. You also see the problems that can happen with those choices. The author wrote this as kids speaking with slang and vocabulary that isn't traditional proper grammar. She's keeping it real. So if you're looking for a book for kids who may live this life, this might work.
