What causes Anger Issues in Teens
Introduction
Anger is a natural response taking place when things don't go our way. Nobody can deny the fact that they had never experienced the wave of anger. Everyone experiences its wave, the only difference is that some people are mindful enough to control these emotions, while other people have 0% or very least control over their anger issues.
Having anger issues isn't a problem, it's an obvious and very first response to the triggering things around us. The problem arises when you cross the limit to which you can showcase your anger in specific situations.
