How I look at another essay...

I read about a group of kids misbehaving in a harmful way. They were misbehaving and then recording it to put it onto the internet, just so that other kids can see how "cool" they were. I read about how they were doing all of these things just for social status. The way the author wrote this essay he was blaming other students for these students behaviors. I also noticed that he felt really strong about this topic and he really wanted every to know what these kids were doing. I think that maybe he wanted people to see what other kids were doing so that they can stop their kids from doing it or maybe even prevent their own kids from doing it. 
I noticed that the author gave a lot of good facts. He even added names of people who have tried to get involved. I also noticed that he cared a great deal about this topic. He wanted everyone to know what these kids where doing, he wanted parents to see what these kids where up to. I love how he began the essay, he started out with a scene of kids misbehaving. He even quoted a grown man who is known just for misbehaving on the internet. He quoted him saying how he just wanted to be known throughout the world, even if it is for something dumb.
I wonder if the author could give more quotes so that we can see how other kids feel about doing this to be "cool".
