Adopted Teens Behaviors
By Nivea David
It can be difficult to know if your adopted teen's anger is normal and within the range of typical teenage behavior. Most teenagers get angry, especially during the
years when their bodies are changing and the hormones can bring quick and severe mood swings. All teenagers are searching the world trying to find out who they
are and what they want to become. They all want to know how the world will affect them and how they will affect the world.
Many adopted children develop RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder). This occurs when a child, teen or
adult cannot attach and trust, as they should and experience trouble developing close intimate relationships.
Then it found their behaviors…
- Always seem angry?
- have anger that turns into rage?
- show signs of depression, i.e., withdrawal, slipping grades?
- show disrespect to you or disrespect people in authority?
- self-protect by keeping people at a distance?
- lie, manipulate and steal?
- Ever talk about his/her biological parents?
- want to find his/her biological parents?
After the child is adopted, hopefully in a loving home, a decision is made by the child as to what role to play
within the family. Some have so many layers of anger and rage that negative behavior is exhibited constantly. Others may decide to be a complacent and pleasing
personality because they want to make sure that these new parents are not disappointed or else abandonment will follow. Another choice is not to get close to anyone
because this relationship probably won't last and getting close will be painful when it ends. Several adult adopters' I've spoken to have confirmed this behavior. The
more neglect, abuse and abandonment a child suffers, the more deep-seated will be this distrust for adults or anyone in authority.
It is common for adoption issues to remain hidden until adolescence. Sometimes a child seems well adjusted and happy during the early years and then everything
comes out during the teen years. It is also very common for the child to stay in denial and hide deep feelings from everyone, even themselves, and in their teen years -
which is an identity search time - these feelings rise to the surface. Usually, the child knows inside that something is not right but the complexity of their feelings give
them fear and they hesitate talking about these fears since they believe they can trust no one.
