There are stories that the immigrants share. There is some racism that a character faces. There is theft. There is no real romance but one of the characters shares that he has a crush. There is also some bullying but I think also there is this reality that the characters face due to their families working these jobs with no benefits and little income and how that affects the children that they have.
