Risky behavior in teenagers

Teenagers without adult supervision engage in more risky behavior (like substance abuse, cigarette smoking, preventable injury and violence). But the teenagers who receive consistent but fair discipline engage in less risky behaviors.

Rebellion is a part of the transition to adulthood

The psychosocial controls – emotion and impulse control, resistance to peer influence, and delay of gratification in teenagers – don’t fully develop until age 25. With strict parenting, the situation gets worse.
