      Hi there,

      Love the question 🙂 It is partially linked to hormones – testosterone in particular. It should get better at some point – but then you do have adult barbarians all over the world

      All teenage boys act like barbarians 😉 lol
      Alot of it is hormonal changes that occur at that age but some of it is just being young and lacking life experience. Most of them seem to grow out of it 😀

      Do they?… I think teenage girls think teenage boys act like that everywhere, not just in Britain 😉

      Seriously, aggressive behaviour can be a common expression of the change between childhood and adulthood. And most of that does relate to complicated hormonal shifts that happen during that transition. It happens to girls to – it’s just not necessarily expressed in the same ways in boys and girls.

      Does that help? 😉

      I think you’ll find all teenage boys act the same way, not just the British ones!! And yes, it’s mostly due to hormones and waaaaaay too much sugar!

      I think it is both hormones and lack of discipline.
