The Darkness Out There

Plan: Johnny gets punished at school for something he didn't do. He thinks that life after school will be a doddle. However, he is proved wrong when his father, John, gets fired from his job for something he didn't do, in fact it was something Johnny did, but Johnny doesn't have the courage to own up. This makes Johnny realise that there is injustice in the world, just like at school, and makes Johnny become more responsible. His lack of responsibility could be symbolised at the start, then his increased responsibility could be symbolised similarly at the end.
