When Anger Shows Up Without Warning

Anger is often misunderstood. People see it as aggression, but anger is actually a secondary emotion. Beneath it there’s usually hurt, fear, exhaustion, or feeling misunderstood.

Teens experience anger intensely because your brain’s emotional centre develops faster than the part responsible for control. So your feelings come quickly and powerfully.

Anger doesn’t make you a bad person. It makes you human. But it does invite you to look underneath: “What moment hurt me?” “What expectation crushed me?” “What fear was triggered?”

When you understand the story behind your anger, it stops controlling you and starts guiding you.

You deserve understanding, not judgment.
