risky sexual behaviour - peer pressure - their friends may have forced to do it or they've seen their friends do it and they wanted to be just like them.
eating disorders especially among teenage girls - seeing it on social media and seeing plenty celebrities nowadays having the ' perfect figure'.
alcohol and drug abuse - again peer pressure - being forced by a friend to do it just to fit it.
-or seeing it on tv and thinking it's okay.
risky behaviour behind the wheel- i am not too sure about the answer for this but it could be an influence they have seen o tv.
or an influence where they have seen another person do it so they think it's okay.
