Risky behavior is that kind of behavior that exposes people to harm or significant risk to harm which prevents them from reaching their goals and it can lead to death.

-It could lead to death
-They could harm themselves or others

Teenagers should be active in their own education of learning their own behaviors, and being able to have self-awareness so that they don’t go down harmful paths.

Some reasons a person may take part in risky behavior are:
-Peer pressure
-Low self-esteem
-Influences from media
-The need for adventure
-Unhealthy optimism
