I used to work with teens on probation. I taught classes on Thinking Errors (formally known as cognitive distortions).

The class involved kids identifying and picking apart ways people distort stuff to try to justify their actions/beliefs.

One kind of a self centered rationalization was called "fronting".

It's when kids thought they were being big bad asses for doing anti social stuff- like joining a gang.

The little boys and girls of ICE need remedial classes in Thinking Errors.
