1 . Teen anger takes many forms. What we can see is the expression of it — the behavior. Teenagers will continue their behavior, until they decide to find out the roots (根源) of their anger, which is usually caused by something going on in a teen’s life.

Teen anger can be a frightening feeling, which can destroy lives and relationships, hurt others, affect (影响) health, and cloud futures. But there is a positive aspect, as it can show that a problem exists and can help us face our issues.

Teenager face a lot of emotional (情感的) issues during this period of development. They’re faced with doubts of identity, relationships, and independence. The relationship between teens and their parents is also changing as teens become more and more independent. This can bring about anger for both parents and teens.

So what can teens and parents do? Listen to your teen and focus on feelings. Try to understand the situation from his or her opinion. Blaming (责备) only builds up more walls and ends all communication. Tell them how you feel, stick to facts, and deal with the present moment. Show that you care and show your love. Remember that anger is the feeling and behavior is the choice. Unless we work to change our own behavior, we cannot help another change their behavior.

An alternative to pushing away our emotions is to accept them. Accepting means that we must practice allowing our emotions to be what they are without judging them.     3     When we’re happy,we have to accept not only that happiness is a short-term condition,but also that we won’t always be happy. This goes for every type of emotions.

Emotions help us decide what we should stay away from and what we should approach.     4     Therefore,accepting emotions is helpful,because when we listen to our emotions,we can actually learn important information.

Be kind to others

    3     While you may not be at a place to help them financially (经济上), offering a smile or a kind word can help them feel better about where they’re in life. When others see you show kindness, they’ll also be more likely to do so.
