Why are kids so angry?

Article Abstract:

An increasing number of children at young ages seem unable to stop at ordinary expressions of childish ire and extend it from the privacy of their homes to public places. There are many factors that provoke such behavior from children including media messages, and bad behavior of adults and hence studies suggest that it is critical to intervene early before lifelong patterns of extreme, explosive behavior take root.
