5Rooting doesn't cause bricking. Rooting improperly may cause bricking – beeshyams Aug 21 '16 at 09:24

1As for how to root your S2, we'd need to know which S2 it is: Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 / GT-I9100 P / GT-I9100 G? – Izzy Aug 21 '16 at 11:14

2@Izzy Or AT&T's i777, i727, T-Mo's T989, Sprint's D710... Too many fundamentally different S2s. – Andy Yan Aug 21 '16 at 13:57

Well it's never safe to go behind what the manufacturer had set out for you. Cons of rooting include but aren't limited to
- High risk of bricking phone (corrupting the bootloader rendering the phone particularly useless)
- Voiding warranty
For beginners I'd recommend kingo root app. You literally just download the app and they'll do the rest for you. Kingo also has a lesser chance of bricking your phone/failing to root.
Other ways of rooting include loading a custom rom through the bootloader for your specific phone model but as you said you're a beginner and I wouldn't advise you to go this way until you feel more comfortable having understood the ways of rooting a phone.
