Plain Language Summary
Living in a prison is stressful and difficult for young people. Some criminals, especially at a young age, suffer from psychological issues. The most common high-risk manners are drug, smoking, and alcohol abuse. High-risk behaviors are potentially harmful behaviors that people engage in consciously or unknowingly and have forced personal and social results. Such behaviors raise the possibility of dangerous and harmful physical, psychological, and social consequences for someone. Numerous developmental aspects donate to the construction of violence, such as experiences of growing children, parental rules, communication with peers, the role considered in society, and financial inadequacy. Parents who abuse their children, or those with a criminal record, are more likely to have children with bold manners. At an early age, unhappiness can happen in adolescents. Depressive conditions in childhood and youth can lead to diseases and interpersonal and psychosocial issues.
