These things may seem like the only elements that these like many other teenagers have in common. But there is more. These(few) teens are the most deviant, rebellious, and undisciplined of the entire school. 
  They are all at risk of being expelled and forced to complete their education in an alternative setting at night due to their unwillingness to conform.
