What Would Make an Honor Student do This?

 Watching the news is an activity I usually avoid because of the countless nonsensical stories. This one is no exception:

A 16-year-old honor student from a suburb of Detroit was supposed to take her final exams this week.

Instead she was in court today facing charges of armed carjacking.

Allegedly, she and two other girls ran up on a woman and her 3-year-old son. But the "star student" -- with no previous record -- was the one who is accused of this:

"This individual put a handgun to the head of the woman's 3-year-old son and said, 'I'll shoot his ass,'" said the judge hearing the case.

I need to understand what makes a teenage girl decide to go out and attempt armed robbery. What part of that sounds like fun? Where did she get the gun and what kind of homegirls encourage you to do this for leisure?
