Define the concept risk behaviour and explain two factors why it is important for the youth to be knowledgeable about it

Risk behaviour or risky behaviour is simply behaviour that runs the risk of the person and/or those around them being hurt or damaged physically, socially or emotionally.

Teenagers investigating it? It depends on what you mean by ‘investigating’. Investigating does not have to mean trying it out. Trying out certain drugs is too risky. On the other hand, trying out mountain bike tricks may be well worthwhile if they develop their manoeuvres in a staged way, starting from the easiest and safest and working up the scale as they master the easier stages one by one.

Investigating by reading about risky things is another, perhaps initially safer means for teenagers (or anyone else mature enough) to learn about the risky behaviours they might be considering.

Another method is finding people who object to the particular risks and interviewing them as to why they do. That may help them evaluate the wisdom of taking up the particular behaviours. It may include interviewing people who have suffered negative long-term consequences of such behaviours.

They could undertake a project of the subject of the behaviours in mind and use the above methods to draw their conclusions.

However, it must be remembered that avoiding all risks of any kind would result in never extending one’s horizons and so staying cocooned in childhood, and ultimately not reaching one’s potential.

well, it depends. it is natural to not fall asleep before 11: 00 p.m. teens need about 8-10 hours of sleep each night to function best.

enjoy your day!
