* Literary example: the ''Literature/StephanieHarrington'' series is about an adventurous girl, the daughter of two scientists, who is a colonist on the planet Sphinx. Something of a {{Reconstruction}} of the genre, as her first adventure in the wilderness results in her [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome almost being killed]], and the adults see to it that she is better supervised and receives the type of training that will allow her not to die a senseless death in the [[DeathWorld vast wilderness of Sphinx]]. The local natives also pull double-duty as the cute animals Stephanie must protect from the poachers who [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman refuse to consider the 'cats as sentient beings.]]

* ''Literature/LordOfTheFlies.'': A bunch of kids get stranded on a DesertedIsland..... [[TeenageWasteland and then proceed to collapse into anarchy and start murdering each other without the mitigating influence of civilization.]]

* ''Series/{{Yellowjackets}}'' hits upon many of the same themes as ''Lord of the Flies'', only with [[GenderFlip a cast of teenage girls]] (specifically, high school soccer players) instead of adolescent boys. A large part of the show follows the now-adult survivors 25 years later, who were all left traumatized by it and have all found different ways to cope with it.

* ''Film/CocaineBear'' structures the scenes involving children like an absolutely ''warped'' version of one of these, complete with incredibly graphic violence and a ten-year-old shouting the F-word.

* The villains (if there are any) will likely be {{Evil Poacher}}s. They come in two varieties: menacing killers and ''Home Alone''-esque [[TheFamilyForTheWholeFamily idiots]] (it ''was'' the '90s, after all).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' (1988) could almost be a complete example, execept that the "kids" in this case are juvenile dinosaurs, and the villain in question is a predatory T-rex that is stalking them.

* ''VideoGame/DigimonSurvive'' is a darker take on ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' with much more emphasis on the survival part, and notably has ''Lord of the Flies'' cited as one of its inspirations. However, upon completing all the routes it's actually closer to a DeconReconSwitch.
