The first example happens in Act 2. Juliet talks to Romeo in the garden, even though she knows that he is the enemy and she knows that her nurse is just inside. The Nurse could have come out and seen everything in a moment. Not only does Juliet talk to Romeo, but she agrees to meet him the next day.
Juliet sends her Nurse the next day to arrange the meeting with Romeo. Although the Nurse obviously proves to be a faithful servant, it was dangerous to bring another person in on her plan. The Nurse could have told the Capulets, causing many sorts of punishment on Juliet.
Juliet marries Romeo without telling her family. Risky!
Then, Juliet invites Romeo into her bedroom - into her parents' house. At any moment, they could have been caught, but Juliet risks this for a night with her secret husband. I think we can conclude that her behavior was risky all-around!
