Use credit cards irresponsibly
Speeding in their car
Drunk Driving
Acting without regard to safety or the law ("I'm invincible")
Unprotected sex
Going to college without real-world experience to consider what's really best for them.
Using drugs
Following the crowd/succumbing to peer pressure
Getting arrested
Hanging around with people who can get them arrested
(Personal experience: A person can get by without an education. I have two brothers + my father who never graduated H.S. & all are the most successful members of my immediate family. Some of the least financially successful people of my family/friends all went to college).

TAKE IT FROM ME THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS GET MARRIED AND START A FAMILY B/4 YOU GET OUT OF COLLEGE. IF YOU DO YOU WILL NEVER GO TO COLLEGE AND THEN YOU WILL WIND UP AT A DEAD END JOB MAKING NEXT TO NOTHING AND HAVE TO STRUGGLE ALL YOUR LIFE. IF YOU LOVE THAT PERSON ENOUGH THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WAITING UNTIL YOU HAVE A COLLEGE EDUCATION TO MARRY THEM. THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN GET A JOB TODAY WITHOUT SOME SORT OF DEGREE THAT PAYS ENOUGH TO LIVE ON.
