Bad kids acquire a reputation for rebelliousness, something that is attractive for a lot of kids because they are perceived as having gone against the norm, against authority, against the establishment and what is deemed “good”. They are looked upon as unique, daring, and unorthodox——that is why they are appealing. “Good kids” are already a part of the establishment, although good, they aren’t perceived as “one-of-a-kind”, rather as ho-hum. But once the novelty wears off, and people start seeing how destructive and negative bad kids are, they begin to realize that it’s not worth it, but by then it’s too late——some kids head down the wrong path following their bad peers and eventually self-destruct.
