At 14, Kendra had her very first alcoholic drink when her friends took her to a party hosted by Dylan, a high school senior. Soon Kendra and Dylan began dating. Kendra had always felt especially self-conscious about her body, as she had started needing a bra at age 10, and by age 13 she had sometimes been mistaken for an adult. She thought of herself as “too big,” but Dylan insisted her body was “smokin’.” With Dylan, Kendra began drinking regularly at parties as she found it eased her nerves and helped her feel more comfortable interacting with the older kids. After a few drinks she would feel comfortable enough to take off her sweatshirt and show off her tank top. Dylan also introduced Kendra to marijuana, which she preferred over alcohol because it made it easy to forget her
self-consciousness. Being high on marijuana made goofing around like her friends much more fun. One night they climbed the fence surrounding the high school and spray-painted the windows black. Another time they sneaked onto a local golf course and went skinnydipping in the pond. However, a neighbor called the police and Kendra, Dylan, and their friends were arrested for trespassing and possession of alcohol and drugs.What are some of the outcomes that accompany risky activity? What will be an ideal response?
