Aggression among School Going Adolescents

Human aggression is behaviour performed by one person (the aggressor) with the intent of harming another person (the victim). Such behaviour is found to be most common in the adolescents which is now-a-days a major problem in our Society. It is a violative and defying tendency against the accepted social rules and norms. Aggressive youths are therefore, law breaking criminal youths whose attitude and behaviour are socially unacceptable, objectionable and harmful. Aggression should be regarded as an attempt by the adolescents at controlling or dominating the environment and their parents. They show aggression when they fail to achieve what they want or when they lose in competition or when they face and unfavourable comparison. Therefore, the investigator feels that there is a need to explore the problem and make a study of the causes leading to aggressive behaviour of school going adolescents.
