Risk behavior is the behavior of individual that may result in negative consequences, risks to life, death, injury, violation etc.

The factors which may cause or influence to engage in risk behavior are as mentioned,

1. Peer pressure.

2. Inferiority complex.

3. Troublesome childhood experiences.

4. Stress.

5. Anxiety.

6. Failure.

Further Explanation:

<u>Behavior</u> is the kind of act or a deed done by an individual someone which may have impact on others life.

<u>Risky behavio</u>r mostly seen in teenagers is the steps taken or deed done by them that makes them prone to some negative impacts. Behavior like violence, smoking, drinking alcohol, drug use, etc. may count as a risk behavior.

Teenagers are mostly involved in risky behavior as they rarely can make out a <u>difference between wrong and right. </u>They tend to get <u>attracted to wrongs </u>more easily in which peer pressure and other forces such as inferiority complex etc. causes teens to <u>succumb to behaving inappropriately</u>.

<u>Troublesome childhood experiences</u> changes the whole perspective of world for an individual. He/she adapts to violence and other unacceptable means which can be counted as an risky behavior.

So the factors such as indulgence into bad habits, improper diet and risky sexual behavior are few of the behaviors which teenagers generally get attracted to. So a prior knowledge of the behavior and proper guidance of how to ignore them is important for teenagers.

Anastasy [175]
I would tell her it is not to late to improve muscle heath. Although I would advise her make sure her joints are in good shape to perform this. If she has previously been working out there should be no problem. If she has not been physically active in a while I would advise her to get her joint strength strong before she starts weights. After this I would advise her to start with light weights and body weight exercises such as a simple push up. 

i hope this helps!
