Why is my 14 year old son so angry?

Anger is a normal part of adolescence and can be a healthy emotional response to outside stressors. Anger is a secondary emotion for teens as it often masks other underlying issues including sadness, hurt, fear, and shame. When these underlying emotions become too much, a teen will often respond by lashing out.

Can a 14 year old watch can you keep a secret?
Too graphic for preteens and young teens. Cute premise with positive messaging about being yourself. No nudity, but an oral sex scene with a head coming out from under a blanket and then going back down. Several discussions with explicit critique of sexual technique.

Can a 14 year old play until dawn?
The age rating says Until Dawn is for 18+ people. Well, that's so close to my opinion: it's a game full of violent scenes and bad language, so don't let kids play it.
