Relating to The Outsiders

In the story titled, The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, this story was bout how Greasers were jumped by the Socs. Iv'e never been experienced like this story, but i had a friend who did. Her name was Cristina, and she would steal things, and get into fights. She said that, "it was good  to steal stuff''. I asked her "why is it good to steal stuff and  get into fights?" she said, " it was fun and she didn't have anything else to do. I was really shocked and sad that she wanted to be that kind of person. This is how my friend can relate to The Outsiders.
