                                Risk-Takers vs. People who play it safe

        What does it really mean to be a risk-taker? A risk-taker is a person who loves to take risks. When little kids were in school, some of those kids were “risk-takers” and all the other kids were be jealous because they would think that the “risk-takers.” But, all the kids who do end up become “risk-takers” will still “risk-takers” and do all the bad things that they can do without getting caught.

        First, risk-takers do not like follow any rules, they love to get in trouble all the time, and do whatever they want. However, the people who play it safe hate to get in trouble, and they do follow all of the rules. Risk- takers are the kind of people that are looking for all of the attention that they can get, because they did not get any attention when they were younger. The people who play it safe do not like to get in trouble because they probably grew up in a strict home, and they are probably scared to get in trouble by their parents, they probably do not want to see what kind of consequences they will get. Other kids call these kind of people a “goodie goodie,” and only do what they are suppose to do; like go to school, go to their job (if they have one), or just go home.

        Next, since risk-takers love to get into trouble, they will always do the wrong thing until something happens to them. Whereas, the people who play it safe, since they hate to get in trouble they never have to worry about anything happening to them. Risk-takers end up getting in trouble by either their parents, security guards, or the police. They will also end up in jail from what they did a couple of years ago. The people who play is safe are like against trouble, they like to stay away from it so they do not have to deal with the consequences.
