    I am an educational assistant in a Brooklyn, New York, middle school -- that is, 6th, 7th, 8th grade. I see nearly every day among the teens that surround me all the evidence of the lack of anger management. The problem is a growing one and often seems to be a reflection of the conditions of the home. How sad that is! I hope this excellent site will prove to be beneficial to educators and others.
