It is well known that young people indulge in risk taking behaviour. They constantly test the limits and consequently adolescence can be a nightmare of a time.
You may be able to minimise some of the risk by investing good time in their character development upfront.
Nurture in them a strong social conscience. Raise their level of awareness to the challenges they might face. Teach them to recognise peer pressure but more importantly to make good decisions and when they do to be prepared they may at times stand alone. Teach them the importance of keeping good company and what good friends are. Trust that from your guidance they will exercise good judgement whatever the situation whomever the company. That in reality, is all you can really do.
