One of the apparent features of the adolescent period is “emotional issues.” Teenage anger, in particular, has been a source of their confusion and frustration. In turn, teens as well as parents slowly develop reactive behaviors. The friction between the two parties often affects the parent-child relationship. So what really is teen anger? When teenagers become angry, there are usually a number of reasons. They often include:

 * Trauma. For instance, they have an accident in the sports they have always loved. They become mad because their recuperation takes longer than expected.
 * Grief. Deep sadness can be grounded in several things, such as death of a loved one.
 * Abuse. It can be physical, verbal or sexual kind of abuse.
 * Depression. Not performing well in school can be a reason.
 * Alcoholism. Teenagers usually get out of hand when they resort to alcohol abuse.
 * Substance Abuse, like drugs can lead to unpredictable irritability or anger.
