Abstract
Adolescence is the most critical and vital stage of the life of any individual. It is a very significant period to plan and to fulfil one’s dreams and aspirations. This stage is also characterized by ignorance or wrong choices often leading to many complications in the future. Besides, many adolescents develop wrong habits being tempted by instincts or due to wrong associations. They indulged in such activities to enjoy temporary comfort which is termed as risky behaviour. The objective of the present study is to find out the practices of high school students on risky adolescence behaviour. For the study, a sample of 600 students of the age group 13-18 years and belonging to urban and rural areas in Mizoram was selected. The study revealed that irrespective of their locale a high percentage of high school students engaged in risky adolescence behaviour.
