Anger Is a Gift by Mark Oshiro

Text from the back cover:

Moss Jeffries is many things -- considerate student, devoted son, loyal friend, affectionate boyfriend, and enthusiastic nerd.  But sometimes Moss still wishes he could be someone else -- someone without panic attacks, someone whose father was still alive, someone who hadn't become a rallying point for a community because of one horrible night.  And most of all, he wishes he didn't feel so stuck.  Moss can't even escape at school -- he and his friends are subject to a crumbling infrastructure, as well as constant intimidation by the resource officer.  When tensions hit a fever pitch and tragedy strikes again, Moss must face a difficult choice: give in to fear and hate or realize that anger can actually be a gift.
