Identify and explain FOUR types of risky behaviour amongst the youth by giving examples
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Drinking and driving. With the privilege of earning a driver's license earned also comes the mischievous dabbling in alcohol mixed with cruising. Teenagers want to be 'cool', and accepted, so they will start partying to fit in. To identify this, see if your teens smells of alcohol, when they come home. Check the car for beer tabs, whiskey caps, etc, and see it smells like alcohol also, since spills are inevitable.
Drug use. Adolescence is a time other altered mental states. In addition to alcohol,
marijuana has a distinct odor, and you will smell it in your teenagers clothes long after they have shed them.experience of
experimentation, and discovery. Most have already experimented with their first drug-caffeine-by this time, and want to
Unprotected sex. Males are supposed to reach the peak of their sex drive at 18 or 19.
Well maybe it peaks then, but it starts at 13, or even younger. Boys will be boys. I guess the reason girls experiment too is to figure out what the boys are all making such a fuss about, but considering how inconsiderate, and selfish adolescents can be, they soon find not much particularly interesting about it.
Sorry, no smells are going to tell you if your child is having unprotected sex, but by the time there's an unwanted pregnancy, it's too late. If you find packages of condoms in your son's dresser drawer, just be glad he is using protection.
As for a fourth one, I'm going to revisit #2, because I've heard of a disturbing trend among teenagers where they get together with the pills of their parents' prescriptions, dump them in a bowl, and have themselves a buffet. Many times they are taking (and mixing) drugs of which they know nothing.
They don't know what the drugs were
originally prescribed for, much less their side affects, or how they might interact when mixed. This is the one that concerns me the most. Probably the best way to know if your teenager is participating in this behavior is if you notice your prescriptions running out much sooner than they should.
