My best guess as to what this 'anger'comes from would be derived from looking at how youth these days regularly see other youth, TV, glamorized dramas, MTV etc. where they are portrayed as quasi-adults with all sorts of liberties, responsibilities and yet having the free time that youth typically have. When a child look at his/her life and sees a typical, protective parent, all sorts of authority figures over him/her etc...all the nicities of 'Real' childhood, they become frustrated and begin to feel as if they should be in a different situation. Just a guess...
