About this episode

Having an angry teen in your home can be a constant source of chaos and strife — but parents have to remember that anger always has a deeper root. As we hear in today's show, those teens also need to realize that rage-filled outbursts won't get them where they want to go. Mark and Courtney chat with two teens who've struggled with anger, including Sebastian, who opens up about his struggles with destructive tendencies and how he's discovering healthier coping mechanisms. Check it out!
