High-risk behavior refers to actions that can lead to significant negative consequences for an individual or others. These behaviors often involve a disregard for safety and can include activities such as drug use, reckless driving, or unsafe sexual practices. Engaging in high-risk behavior increases the likelihood of accidents, injuries, or long-term health issues. Factors contributing to high-risk behavior can include peer pressure, lack of awareness, or emotional distress. Individuals, especially adolescents, may engage in these behaviors to seek thrill or acceptance. Understanding the reasons behind high-risk behavior is essential for prevention and intervention strategies.
