Summary/Abstract: Adolescents’ risk-taking behaviour is usual considered as self-destructive behaviour due to its possible negative consequences, including health and life hazards. In this article, we propose different point of view on this behaviour as a positive phenomenon which is an important factor of development of young people. We also show possibilities of taking advantage of this tendency in education.
