Anger Triggers

Things that are upsetting, such as getting a bad grade at school, being bullied, or losing at a game can cause a teen or adolescent to feel angry. While anger is a normal feeling, it becomes a problem if teens are unaware of it and express it in ways that harm themselves and other people.

Knowing what makes them angry is also an important step toward being able to handle it well and maintaining their mental health.
