My Teen is Angry or Aggressive
Dealing with teen anger issues and aggression
Anger and aggression can be really scary for teens and parents. It can begin as irritability, i.e. talking back, yelling, and appearing disobedient. These characteristics are often overlooked as typical adolescent behavior; although these can increase if not addressed - this might look like lying, fighting, shoplifting, and damaged relationships. Often anger and aggression are learned coping skills, and serve a purpose for your teen. But we want your teen to know that they don’t have to be angry and aggressive to get their needs met. We want them to know that they can identify what they are feeling and cope in healthier ways.
