Here's my general opinion. This is advice I gave to my children as well.
You're young. You're at the age where taking risks and maybe eating a little dirt as a result is a thing you can tolerate -- or at least tolerate a lot more than later in life. Take the risks now, when the worst-case results are things you can recover from relatively easily.
