Four contributing factors that may lead to youth engaging in each of the risky behaviour

My experience tells me that there are more than four factors that cause risky behavior and poor outcomes.
Male teens are at particular risk for behaviors outside the normal person’s desire for risk. They engage in risky behavior and have a high mortality rate because of it. Speed contests, climbing accidents and water sports take a high toll on dangerous behavior, which is often accompanied by drinking and drugs. They are at high risk for suicide.
Some mental illnesses invite risky and dangerous behavior during particularly stressful times. Those with borderline personality disorder are prone to engaging in risky behavior, sometimes with people they barely know. Suicide is common.
Alcoholics and drug addicts put themselves and others at great risk as well. They are likely to be involved in vehicular accidents which contribute to highway carnage and the sad statistics that go along with them. They also fall down stairs, get beat up, overdose regularly and many are languishing in prison. suicide is a very real risk.
Oddly enough, those who arm themselves for protection often shoot themselves or more tragically, family members who are mistaken for bad guys. Guns are responsible for thousands of unnecessary injuries and deaths every year and are too often used to perpetrate crime. Even hunters shoot themselves and each other as well as any poor domestic animals that cross their sights. One year, our neighbor lost a dairy cow, mistaken by a hunter for a deer. Compulsive suicides by gun are common.
During hunting season, on the way to school the kids wore red kerchiefs on their back to identify them as not game. Every year or so a hunter tripped over a stump, his gun discharged and got him or his companion with a high velocity slug that sometimes killed or maimed.
