Extreme speed bike riding, skateboarding off the back of a car, jumping from building to building... for some teenagers, risk-taking is a cure for boredom. But sometimes this not-so-innocent fun is injuring and even killing teens in search of the elusive buzz. "I do it for the rush. There's no other feeling like it," says teenage BMX rider Kalin Law. But what causes this addiction to risky business, and why are some teens more out of control? ABC News talks to experts and doctors about the teenage brain.As ABC News reports, there are some kids just plain born to take dangerous risks. "Thrill seekers are low in arousal in the nervous system. And they want to get their arousal up, so they seek stimulation... They love intense experience," says Dr. Frank Farley of Temple University, who has studied such behavior for more than 30 years and calls such thrill seekers T-types. He tells ABC News what parents should look for in kids as young as two, so that they can channel them properly. "We wouldn't have created the modern world without our T-types. Because they're the creative, innovative, entrepreneurial, inventive people... The object is to engage them, it's to provide stimulation to compete with the top of the car phenomenon."This "20/20" program also contains the following stories:SambucksPheromonesAnchors: Elizabeth Vargas and John StosselCorrespondent: Jim AvilaAirdate: 12/9/2005
