Anger is only one letter short of danger. It is a powerful human emotion presenting one of the biggest challenges for teens and their parents. But how do you know if your teen’s anger is getting out of control and what can you do about it? Luckily, recognizing and managing teen anger is possible. Here is what to do: 1 in 5 teens have anger management issues. Boys are more likely to express anger physically. Girls are more likely to express verbally. In the anatomy of anger, it explains that anger forms in the amygdala. When large amount of information is sent to the brain, the amygdala produces hormones that create strong emotions such as physical and emotional alarm. When the prefrontal cortex is fully developed, it indicates an appropriate response to the hormones usually ignoring amygdale and preventing outburst of anger.
