You don't have to live with the anger and the chaos it causes any longer!

Here is where you will find stories of the challenges that teens face, along with solutions that suit your needs perfectly.

Tell your story now. Never underestimate the power of your own internal will and intention. 

Also, read the stories of other parents and teens trying to get it all sorted out.

Teen Anger Management For Teens

That's right, you're at the top of the list. The reason is, if you take responsibility for your anger, no one else will have to worry about it--which is the best for everyone, right?

With responsibility comes freedom, and you want freedom. We all do. Freedom from anger problems, freedom to make choices without being ambushed by your own emotional reactions.

I want you to consider some things, first:

  • You are a good person
  • You have good reasons for your anger, even if you don't know what they are
  • Once you find out what those reasons are, you're halfway there
  • When you follow the guidelines in the stories below, you will start understanding and gaining control of your anger

Get started by reading the stories by other teens, where you can offer your comments or ask your questions. 

Tell Your Story Or Ask Your Question

This is easy to do. Just complete the form below, using these guidelines:

  • Give as much detail as possible about what's going on.
  • Provide the "back story" that came before your current teen anger management problem.
  • Tell me exactly what you need help with.

That's all there is to it. Then, if your submission is selected, you'll have a published page on this site, along with advice from me, Dr. DeFoore.

People get a lot of benefit from telling their story. 

Remember, believe in yourself and the goodness in your heart...that's why you're here! 

See what other folks have said about their experiences with telling their own story and getting some guidance here...
