Some teenagers like to be considered that type of person; often they get positive response from other teens and are seen as cool or whatever.
At my school, we had all sorts of " bad asses" if you will, from hard core gang bangers, to punked out emo's who looked ready to shoot up the school. It wasn't a huge deal; if you didn't like them, just stay away from them/ don't associate.
Being a teen is also that awkward phase in which kids are still trying to figure themselves out; trying to figure out what they like, over coming peer pressures, realizing who they want to be, finding out what's important, facing rewards and consequences for their actions (experience is the best teacher :D,) the list goes on and on. Some kids need that attention and " dude that's so awesome!" response in order to obtain a sense of self -worth. Sad, but it's a battle some kids go through.
So most kids who act out or act like hard asses, are generally just trying to find a way to fit in to whatever social class they like, but this mindset usually disappears upon graduation, when most kids stop giving a damn about fitting into social groups.2 0 0 1most likely these are the guys that have nothing else going for them and this is how they get attention and measure their self worth. I'm pretty sure most girls don't find it attractive unless they're desperate or 14 years old. Most girls think it's annoying and immature lol
2 0 0 0they want to feel rebellious and special while struggling with getting laid and being annoyingly awkward. or they think theyre the sh*t and don't understand why everyone ignores them or acts like theyre retarded

These all indicate a desperate attempt to become the "alpha male" (a.k.a. the strongest, most dominant male) in the environment. It is an animalistic instinct that comes out of insecurity.
Of course, there is a scientific argument that these guys act like "alpha"s because of their high levels of testosterone (actual, scientifically approved side-effect of the sex hormone).
This might be why some girls go for the "jerk"s, for example. However, this is just an argument.
By no means do I support this, or find this acceptable. I'm just stating some facts and opinions regarding the subject, which you might sompletely disagree with. =)0 0 0 0
