From the Paper:

"The article entitled "Kicking Back at Raging High" begins with provocative questions of high interest regarding self-esteem issues for teenagers and comparisons between cliques in high schools. As the chapter reveals more and more descriptive information regarding these cliques, however, it begins to lose its appeal as it focuses on statements which appear trite in comparison to the insight of the opening remarks. While the ideas in this piece are informative and true, further comparisons into the nature of cliques and the psychology lurking behind each one which feeds into low self-esteem would have lead to a more insightful and captivating article. "Raging High" begins revealingly with three scenarios of maladaptive high school students, and then jumping immediately to what the author believes is the crucial issue at hand: self-esteem."
