This paper introduces 'offence' as a new kind of speech act. We can consider it to be the opposite of 'compliment'. The author suggests that verbal aggression is so common in everyday life that it needs to be thoroughly examined. He conducted a questionnaire survey of twelve questions with the participation of two groups of teenagers, 13-14 and 16-17 years of age, respectively. The first six questions concerned physical, and the last six questions referred to linguistic, aggression. The main goals of the research were the following: (1) To see the difference, if any, between the utterances of the two age groups. (2) To find out whether it is physical or verbal aggression that makes people respond in a more aggressive way. (3) To reveal how the level of verbal aggression changes in utterances depending on the speaker or on the seriousness of the insult.

The present study investigated the relationship between personality and aggression among females. The sample comprised 200 adolescent Indian females aged 13-15 years from H.P. The results show that there are some personality traits such as group dependency, low intelligence, excitability and impatience that contribute to physical, verbal and indirect aggression among females. Collectively, these personality traits accounted for 24% of the variance in female aggression. The findings were measured through stepwise regression analysis.
