At-Risk Behavior
At-risk behavior refers to actions that can potentially harm an individual or increase the likelihood of negative outcomes. These behaviors often include substance abuse, reckless driving, unsafe sexual practices, and delinquency. Engaging in such activities can lead to serious consequences, including physical injury, legal issues, or health problems.
Understanding at-risk behavior is crucial for prevention and intervention strategies. Educators, parents, and community leaders can work together to identify warning signs and provide support. Programs aimed at promoting healthy choices and resilience can help individuals avoid engaging in at-risk behavior and lead to more positive life outcomes.
