One of my friends asked a question "Why children in teen age goes too violent to kill someone?” He wanted to know what is causing this in psychological perspective.

This complex and troubling issue needs to be carefully understood by parents, teachers, and other adults. We should be aware of this in order to help the young budding community.

Do not ignore violent behavior..

 Violent behavior in a child at any age always needs to be taken seriously. It should not be quickly dismissed as "just a phase they're going through!" don’t think they will "grow out of it”. Yes they will grow but more violent in most of the cases

There may be many other reasons, Children’s are getting fear and anxiety about the happenings and they wanted to stop them using logical learning they have come across so far. Fear of losing the allowances, facilities they get is another strong reason for a children go for a violent decisions.
