A Teen's Guide to Conflict: How to Deal with Drama, Manage Anger, and Make Things Right

Perennial New York Times bestseller and trusted voice Dr. Gary Chapman teams up with Dr. Jennifer Thomas to share relational survival skills for every teen.

Relationships matter. But they’re also hard. Conflict is a reality in life that can lead to isolation, anger, and broken relationships. With the proper tools, however, teenagers can learn to respond to conflict and experience meaningful community. They don’t have to be controlled by their frustrations. Instead, they can manage and even reverse the effects of anger.

A Teen’s Guide to Conflict—a natural complement to the bestselling, A Teen’s Guide to the 5 Love Languages®—helps teenagers tame the powerful emotion of anger, apologize (and receive apologies) in ways that actually work, and handle difficult or damaged relationships. Gary Chapman and Jennifer Thomas’ new book with Paige Haley Drygas answers questions like:

  • What’s the difference between good and bad anger?
  • How can my anger accomplish positive change?
  • What if I’m angry with myself?
  • Are there different ways to manage conflict—friends and family vs. people online?
  • When do I make things right, and when should I set boundaries?
  • Why do some apologies fall flat?


Readers discover a straightforward overview of the 5 apology languages, two assessment instruments, practical examples, and tips for real life situations.

Teens’ relationships matter. The principles they learn in this book will equip them for relationships that thrive now and in the future.
