We really want to hear your stories, and here is a page you can go to right now to submit any story at all. Or, this page is specifically for teen anger stories. Here is one of my favorites entitled, "Twelve Years Old And Hostile" submitted by Kimberlee from Lawrence, Kansas: "My 12 year old son has had ongoing issues with anger and how he reacts to different emotions for well over 3 years now. It wasn’t until recently when his father & I got divorced that I started him with an adolescent counselor bi-weekly. He has a hard time accepting responsibility for his own actions, thinking of others, making good judgment calls and relating to other people. As most people do now, I of course looked up his behavior online. The closest thing to describe his lashing out and other behavioral issues was known as Oppositional Defiant Disorder or O.D.D for short. Any parent of a teenager can tell you that teens are often moody and argumentative but something else was off in his case. Studies show that as many as 1 in 10 children may have oppositional defiant disorder in a lifetime. Treatment of O.D.D. involves therapy and possibly medications. As a parent, you don't have to go it alone in trying to manage a child with O.D.D. Doctors, counselors and child development experts can help you learn specific strategies to addressing O.D.D. He has been in therapy now for over 2 months and even though he hates going, I’ve seen significant changes." Join Kimberlee in sharing your story about teen anger or any other topic of interest related to anger and grief. How Do I Help Teens With Their Anger?
