Introduction
Ralphe Di Clemente (2009) defines risk taking behaviour as engaging in activities that may have harmful consequences. These behaviours may include smoking, alcoholism, taking other drugs and engaging in sexual activities. There are a number of factors that can lead to these activities and a number of long term consequences as a result.
Brown (2011) established the four tasks of adolescence: 1: to stand out by developing identity, 2: to fit in by creating affiliations with peers, 3: to measure up by gaining competence and succeeding and 4: to take hold by making commitments to goals and activities.

The use of drugs and alcohol can significantly damage brain cells in individuals. Reckless and antisocial behaviour outside of school can have an undesired effect on concentration in class and a disinterested attitude towards academic achievement. The aim of all behaviour management and discipline is to enable students to take ownership of their behaviour in a way that respects the rights of others. Risk taking and misbehaving children may be difficult to manage in the classroom as they distract others, seek attention and cause disruptions. As these students may cause disruptions in order to cause conflict with teachers it is important to keep fundamental dignity. The teacher must remain pragmatic and collaborate with other teachers and the principal in order to deal with a problem student in the best way advised (Rogers et al., 2002). Discipline can be described as the best way to deal with issues to proceed with effective learning and teaching. Good discipline is a natural consequence of good teaching. Building workable relationships with students is key. These students may crave attention and doing it in a more positive way would be more effective.
These workable relationships may be the foundations needed for these students to learn. If a student respects the teacher, they are less likely to cause disruption in their class. If the teacher creates an engaging and active classroom where students are constantly busy, these specific students may be too distracted by the activities to cause distraction and
