From the Paper:

"Teenagers and late preteens, who tend to view the world from a more simplistic perspective, generally see and understand things in a black and white format. Consequently, during the psychological and hormonal changes that are so prevalent during this age group, a change of perception brings about the realization that there may be more depth to the world than previously believed. This shift in perception can, therefore, bring about confusion and anger, specifically when children may not have the guidance and positive influence that is so much needed during this difficult transition period. If this aggression and confusion has no valid outlet, it can stem into a range of psychological disorders, including sometimes-violent outbursts and depression."
