Typically, the teenager attending an anger management group has been required to do so by Law Enforcement, the Court Sytem, Probation, the School District, the SAP Program or by their parent's, family or even friend's.  Sometimes Teens recognize the need to change on their own and ask their parents to help them find resources.  Groups are successful because participants realize their need to be apart of the program and work to complete it.
