Teenage interest in new experiences and thrill-seeking can include less concerning behaviour, like trying new tricks at the skate park or expressing an unpopular opinion. This behaviour peaks at around 15-16 years and tends to tail off by early adulthood.
The incidence and prevalence of risk taking in adolescence indicates that risky behavior is a common aspect of the adolescent experience. Indeed, some risk taking is considered developmentally appropriate. Whether attempting mastery or testing limits, taking risks appears to be a way of gaining self-understanding toward the main developmental tasks of adolescence, forming an identity and developing autonomy. Although adolescents take a disproportionate number of risks compared to any other population, there is no indication that most are willfully attempting to harm themselves or others. What often looks to others like irrational behavior, risk taking by adolescents can be a rational process (Furby & Beyth-Marom, 1992).
