Objective:
Describe the significance adolescents and their parents attribute to risks during adolescence.
Methodology:
Qualitative research with a narrative type hermeneutical phenomenological approach. Seven interviews were conducted with adolescents, and 7 independent interviews with parents.

Keywords : Risk; adolescence; danger; decision making.
