Abstract
This article presents the results of an empirical research aimed at examining and analysing the
presence of high school students' risky behaviour. The sample consisted of 137 high school students
from the Republic of Serbia. A descriptive method was applied, and techniques a survey questionnaire
technique that was constructed for this research. The obtained research results show that a
large number of respondents consume cigarettes and alcohol, while they started going out to
nightclubs already during elementary school. As the most common reason for consuming cigarettes,
high school students cited the influence of their peers. More than half of high school students stated
that alcohol is usually consumed once a week and on weekends, while a third of the respondents
stated that they very often and often run away from classes. The analysed results lead us to the
conclusion that risky behaviour is present among high school students and that it is necessary to pay
more attention to this topic not only theoretically, but also practically through the unified action of
the family, the school and the local community and a positive focus on overcoming the behavioural
problems of this young population.
