In Search of the Roots of Adolescent Aggression.
Sylwester, Robert
Educational Leadership, v57 n1 p65-69 Sep 1999
Although eliminating school violence is no easy task, understanding the biological basis of aggressive adolescent behavior and discussing it with colleagues is essential. Societal influences can trigger a predisposition for aggressive response in alienated, testosterone-elevated teens. Early-intervention programs that stress social and coping skills offer hope. Contains 14 references. (MLH)
