When people learn that I study risk-taking in children and adolescents, they often want to tell me about the crazy things they did when they were teenagers. I’ve heard about speeding tickets for driving nearly 100 miles per hour, wild parties while parents were out of town, and several instances in which various objects were set on fire. So far, no one has felt compelled to share stories about dumb stuff they did when they were children.
