After reading and understands the article written by the author, I found that this article provided some tips to teens to be a cool person or in other word it refers to the formation of an individual. The ideas presented by the author in this article are more to the effects of negative life regarding teenagers currently. However, as a teenager we should not accept all the fact in this article blindly. This is because the author is just presenting his opinion based on personal opinion in which he stated that he is an adult and has been through childhood therefore he knew and had a lot of experiences. There is the element of fallacy which is appeal to inappropriate authority. For example when he mentioned  himself as' The Guru of Cool ',it is clearly shown that this author has declared himself as a great man without being supported by any strong evidences and only because he was an adult. Apart from that, this article is also inserting other element of fallacy such as appeal to ignorance in which the author simply draws the conclusion because of the lack of proof. For instance, he stated that he found traces of poison in ecstasy. In my opinion, this author is not an expert in this field and therefore his conclusion is based on general knowledge. In conclusion, this article is very interesting and fun to read because the author gives some tips that is also beneficial to readers especially to me.
