Anger Management and Teens

A very funny movie was made a few years ago called anger management. While the movie was amusing, there were some lessons to be learned. There are people who really suffer with anger problems. It would be naïve to believe that only adults have trouble dealing with anger. Teens and even adolescents can have anger management issues. Some people believe that the answer to this problem and most all problems can be solved with medication. While some extreme cases of anger may require medication, others can be dealt with in other ways. By learning to identify the anger problem, a person can learn when he or she is heading toward an explosion. Once they have accomplished this, they can learn how far they can go before they need to just walk away.

Adolescent Anger

As mentioned previously, child anger is more common than adult anger. We expect children to display anger. It is commonplace to see a child throw a fit in a grocery store. Most adolescent anger issues are outgrown as the child matures and becomes more concerned about the scene he is making. The child anger problems may even continue into teenage anger problems, but the majority of people learn to control or minimize their outbursts. It is good for people to learn how to get some release for their anger problems, as holding anger in can also create problems.

Anger Problems

There are many situations that can set off teenage anger episodes. The situations that prompt teenage anger can be very similar to those that create child anger. For example, a teen can become enraged when his parents tell him that he can’t go with his friends. A child will throw a tantrum when he is told he can’t have something he wants at the grocery store. The teenager’s anger may be ignited by a teacher asking that he do an assignment over again. The child may have issues with not being able to leave the house. In conclusion, it can be helpful to put things into perspective. When a teenager reacts in an immature way, he or she is simply acting how they did when they were a child. When a parent begins to understand this, they can more effectively learn to deal with their teenager’s anger.

Teenage Anger

Teenage anger can be a very effective tool for a troubled teen. A defiant teen will have learned over the years that an outburst at the right time can produce some pretty amazing results. The positive reinforcement of giving the angry teen what he or she wants to keep him or her from causing a scene, only makes this habit more difficult to break. In some cases a parent may need to ask for some outside help. There are specialists that deal with issues like these, which may be able to help.

Child Anger

When a child does not get his own way, he will begin to immediately begin to create an uncomfortable situation for everyone close by. This works so well for the first years of his or her life that it is a challenge to teach the child how to deal appropriately with the anger problem. Things can go from bad to worse when a teen has not been taught how to properly deal with being told no. Even though a teen will not lay on the floor and scream and cry, they can make things pretty miserable for everyone in their vicinity. The best time to teach a teenager how to deal with their anger is before they become a teenager. There are hundreds of parenting manuals on how to change a child’s behavior, but one common theme will be to begin while they are young. It is much easier to correct a 3 year old than a 13 year old.
