Im sorry if my reply was not the one you were looking for, but I find nothing funny or humorous in your post. in my location people do hang out with the wrong crowds for many reasons, and in my location sometimes it is a compulsion to do things for money others might not otherwise do, you asked a serious question that many would normally ask.. whether they were doing this for attention or if it was an obsession with them ...

my point I saw no joke or anything of a humor or funny nature in your post which is what facetiously means in my location.

I took the original poster as putting forth a serious situation and asking a serious question.
