    RISKY BEHAVIOR AND TEENS

    Risk tasking for teens is normal generally and that way their growth, development and search for new things take place, but risk taking becomes a problem when excessive dependence on it is manifested. Undesirable behavior of teens is related to their intimacy with friends with drinking or smoking addiction or involvement in weapons accentuated violence, while some might have even made suicide attempts besides or are facing schoolwork difficulties. Crimes apart, risky behaviors of teens more pronounced after school hours as have been listed by National Center for Health Statistics are tobacco or illegal drug usage, playing with firearms, drinking and driving under alcoholic influence and sexual activity. Generally parents and health care professionals are under the impression that religion protects kids from risky behaviors.

    Studies at Pennsylvania State University showed that more religious adolescents were healthier, but peculiarly enough in same cases it was just the reverse as driving under alcoholic and drug influence was more common among those with religious parents. Also, violation of practice of seatbelt wearing is more common among such adolescents. Open and nonjudgmental communication can be crucial, as in other spheres of your teen’s life, in checking risky behavior both in terms of the undesirability of the behavior itself and the frequency of occurrence of the same. By taking risks only human beings grow, develop, learn and explore. It is essential to maintain positive family environment and plan correct risk taking so that your teens get help to pass successfully though this difficult period in their life.
