Why do teens act out? Well we know in this computer age that what goes into the computer must come out of the computer. However what we often fail to get is that the behavior of teens is a combination of their environment and also their emerging personality as they define their own boundaries and separate from their family of origin. Regardless of their need to become a separate human being their family of origin remains their first education on life and continues to be the most powerful experience throughout their life.
