Hello everyone, how are you doing? , I welcome you to my article where I get to discuss the common "Aggression Among youths".
Aggression has been a common thing amongst Nigeria youth, various things could trigger one to be aggressive as a youth, but how one responds to it and your reactions to it matters the most, aggression could be triggered due to lack of enough care among other things which I shall discuss in the contest. READ ON!!!.
Aggression could simply be described as a feeling, but such a feeling occurs in a situation where one is filled with excessive anger, and this feeling is likely to be extended to the next individual possibly resulting in hurting the other person either physically or emotionally.
A lot of people tend to get aggressive, mostly the ones who are short tempered get triggered with little feeling of dissatisfaction, Aggressions are mostly how we respond to our feelings, there are people whereby when things didn't go as planned or when lose to a situation, they tend to resolve into aggression and likely might want others close to them also feel their temper.
A lot of things are accompanied by aggression such as ;
- Short temper
- Self Hurt.
- Self Depressed
- Violence
- Self Moody
- Cursing at the other individual.
- Bullying...
Yes, aggression is more prevalent amongst the youth, there are instances whereby when I see two people engaging in an intense argument, a few minutes later, the arguments would have resolved into chaos whereby you see them using excessive force to fight each other, this is a feature of aggression as this means they are a bomb waiting to explode, the argument just happens to have triggered the aggression in them and let everything resolve into chaos.
Most youths carry a lot of responsibilities and thinking over their head nowadays, so there is this saying that "Everybody is just trying to be cool, whereas they are not", this has been a common slang people use,i.e they themselves are not alright, youth get discouraged the most and they are very volatile at that instance, so if anything should go in the other direction, they quickly resolve into aggression and turn the whole facade upside down.
Aggression could mostly be caused by several things, or we could likely say aggression could be triggered by the followings;
-
Lack Of Care and attention
-
Hunger.
-
Disappointment
-
Rejection
-
Emotional Distress
-
Self-esteem.
-
Family pressure
-
PTSD
Aggression could cause a lot of effects on individuals which I shall explain below;
-
Lack Of care - someone who lacks care from home happens to resolve into aggression that they feel the need to hurt others too because they want everyone to know how it feels to not get attention just like them.
-
Hunger - "A hungry man is an angry man", hunger causes an effect to the point that you get triggered by anything, and this could affect the person to always want to be violent.
Aggression could cause one to lose a stable relationship with families, or jobs as well.
Someone with aggression is likely not to have many friends around them as they tend to have little sense of humor and are bad at making decisions.
Aggression could make one make bad moves when angry, and this could lead to a massive failure in the individual.
People with excess aggression tend to have a terrible way of handling distress, and excessive, this could lead to Bipolar disorderliness.
The solutions to aggression could be difficult, but the first thing to understand is that there is no solution other than you could only manage how to handle your aggression, aggression is a feeling accompanied by anger, so it's natural to feel aggressive sometimes, but its the way we handle it that shows how unaggressive we are.
-
Cool of your mindset - the mindset plays an important role in human life, when angry, the first thing to do is to cool off and stop thinking of whatever might have caused the anger in the first place.
-
Do not react immediately - When aggression is being triggered, the best thing is to give it a little time before reacting, because we all make bad choices when angry, so it's a say that "Don't be too quick to make a decision when angry".
-
Be around people often - When you socialize more and when you interact and see how people live their lives, you get to be less aggressive as most of your anger gets to be at ease when you are around more people.
-
Find Happiness - We would be surprised by the little thing that could give us happiness, happiness should be a safe world for the aggressive, so when aggression is being triggered, the best is to find a safe place where are usually happy and stay low for a while till we feel we are okay and less emotional.
Aggression is a common feeling mostly among the youth, facing a lot of pressure either from family or their friends, but it's just a feeling that will eventually go away, so what matters is how we give room for it and how we respond to it.
Aggression is natural, we are to feel angry sometimes, but the best is to always not think of it, find a safe word, a safe place, you should learn how to handle disappointment, and as well you should stop making decisions when you are angry or when people say awful things to you.
