ABSTRACT

Adolescence aggression is an important focus for educators and parents owing to its relative stability over time and consistent link to a variety of negative outcomes later in adolescence, including crime, substance use, conduct problems, poor adjustment, and academic difficulties. However, aggressive behavior may represent a normal developmental stage or indicate a serious ongoing mental health disorder that poses a safety concern.This article, discussed the strengths and weaknesses of the previous studies; it aims at providing a strategy to reduce the level of aggressive behavior among adolescents in Arab schools. Furthermore, it gives a full explanation of the issues and difficulties that provide meaningful information as guidance for researchers and counselors in this field.
