Anger is one of the many emotions we feel. It is our natural human tendency to get angry at things or actions that annoy us. But, not being able to control our anger can prove to be dangerous. Today’s youth lack patience and struggle with more anger issues than the older generation. Moreover, when a teenager gets annoyed, since their body is going through continuous hormonal changes due to puberty, they get very angry and aggressive even without any provocation.
