A, popular kids get along with others easily and to maintain popularity they will engage in risky activities

Arturo · Answer 2

I agree with A. Further define risky behavior, I. e., underage drinking, underage smoking, recreational drugs, unprotected sex, driving at higher speeds are some. Now think of the popular teens you know ... Any similarities? I saw them in my generation.

However not ALL popular kids engage in risky behavior. Some kids have a greater vision (long view) for their life and therefore critically think before they act. Risky behavior isn't all it's cracked up to be!
