Treated like a child and expected to behave like an adult? Discover when your anger is justified and when it screams “management issue.” Are you snapping at people? When things don’t go your way, do you get grumpy and remain that way for hours? Perhaps it feels like you’re constantly angry about one thing or another. You may wonder: Is this normal? Why am I so angry? The areas of your brain that are responsible for emotional regulation and impulse control experience significant remodeling during your teenage years. Add hormonal fluctuations caused by puberty into the equation, and the result may be mood swings and emotional volatility. As a teenager, you are facing a multitude of challenges. In a competitive world, you have to deal with immense pressure to excel. Whether it's maintaining high grades, securing college admissions, or excelling in sports or arts… the fear of failure can fuel frustration and anger. The rise of social media has exacerbated the problem.

Pages : 335
Book Description
Named a "Best Book of 2015" by Bustle, Book Riot, Chicago Public Library, Quill and Quire, and the B&N Teen Blog! The sheriff's son, Kellan Turner, is not the golden boy everyone thinks he is, and Romy Grey knows that for a fact. Because no one wants to believe a girl from the wrong side of town, the truth about him has cost her everything-friends, family, and her community. Branded a liar and bullied relentlessly by a group of kids she used to hang out with, Romy's only refuge is the diner where she works outside of town. No one knows her name or her past there; she can finally be anonymous. But when a girl with ties to both Romy and Kellan goes missing after a party, and news of him assaulting another girl in a town close by gets out, Romy must decide whether she wants to fight or carry the burden of knowing more girls could get hurt if she doesn't speak up. Nobody believed her the first time-and they certainly won't now-but the cost of her silence might be more than she can bear. With a shocking conclusion and writing that will absolutely knock you out, Courtney Summers' new novel All the Rage examines the shame and silence inflicted upon young women in a culture that refuses to protect them.

Adolescence marks a special and unique stage in human growth and development, but it can be an extremely challenging time for both parents and teenagers. In The Parents' and Educators' Manual of Teenage "Rebirth," author Bruce G. Bentley provides an understanding of how teenagers think, feel, and experience themselves in relation to others and the world with the goal of assisting them in their battle to master adolescence.

It also offers teens a descriptive road map of what they can expect and what they can do to help ease anxieties and fears as they encounter life's uncertainties; it helps them to be better prepared for the changes or "rebirths" into new realms of relationships and responsibilities. The Parents' and Educators' Manual of Teenage "Rebirth" aims to ease the journey through the dark, mysterious, and wonderful world of adolescence- with its joys and struggles-and beyond.
