The Causes of Aggressive Behavior

People with aggressive behaviors can not only cause physical harm, but they can as well cause emotional harm to those around them. Such behaviors may range from physical abuse to verbal abuse and may also involve harming other people's personal properties (Steffgen, 2007). Some of the main factors that make people act aggressively include; their physical health, family structure, mental health, life experience, school or work environment, among other factors.


Depending on a person’s age, aggressive people express aggressive behavior in different ways.  For grade scholars, for instance, aggressive behaviors may be expressed by grabbing their classmates’ toys, kicking and hitting other children, among other ways. Some of the main causes of aggressive behavior among young children include; having poor relationship skills, occasionally being stressed, among other causes.


Aggressive high schoolers, on the other hand, have their own way of expressing aggressive behaviors. For instance, on most occasions, aggressive high schoolers or teens for that matter would express aggressive behavior by acting ruddily or by getting into arguments occasionally. Other ways in which aggressive high schoolers express aggressive behavior is by bullying others, occasionally getting into fights, and yelling whenever there is an argument (Steffgen, 2007).  Some of the main causes of aggressive behavior among high schoolers include; peer pressure, stress, having an unhealthy relationship with people around them, substance abuse, among other causes.


A 30-year-old adult or any other adult for that matter may as well have aggressive behaviors. Aggressive adults express aggressive behaviors in a number of ways. For instance; by telling lies about other people, and also by using violence or force to get what they want(Steffgen, 2007). Aggressive adults may in most cases act aggressively in response to some negative experience that they have had. For instance, adults may act aggressively when they feel frustrated, and when they are depressed.
