Summary: 
Emotional intelligence is a form of competence with important role in human lives in general and youth lives in particular. It is considered as a significant factor to the schooling success and youth life. The negative correlation between emotional intelligence and adolescent risky behaviors has been demonstrated by many researchers around the world, and further confirmed its important role of emotional intelligence for the development of this age. Emotional intelligence is regarded as a "shield" that prevents dangerous behavioral manifestations in adolescents. Therefore, families, schools and society should have orientation and educational methods to practise and improve emotional intelligence for teenagers nowadays
