Her very life had been in danger more than a few times (the most recent only being a few strips ago when Gabrielle held a sharpened needle to her throat in a very clear warning on what would happen to her if she didn't play ball). And Abby *still* wants that dangerous life because she only wants to focus on the assumed awesomeness of being a succubus instead of the dangerous realities that come with it.
It's one thing to fantasize at that age; but, usually when a kid is shown the consequences of certain actions/behaviors/choices, a smart kid will usually change their mind or, at the very least, start showing some doubts on their misguided reality (examples - staying up past an established bedtime, or watching a scary movie they've been forbidden from watching, etc). Abby just ignores the negatives outright because they don't coincide with her self perceived reality. And, in all honesty - you'd have to be an especially stupid child to still want to do something even after your life - and the life of your self proclaimed idol - was threatened as a result of that choice.
Up to this point, Abby has suffered no actual consequences for her behavior so there's no reason for any lessons to stick. It's all just been one grand adventure for her so far. And considering that actual teenagers engage in dangerous and potentially life-ending activity with alarming frequency this is not surprising. I can't tell you how many skater bros I've seen break limbs or give themselves concussions only to hop right back on the board a few months later.
