A quick temper usually comes from a person's environment, but can be an inherent trait. Some people are quick-tempered and get mad very quickly at the smallest things. For other people, a quick temper comes from the environment in which they are in and relates to the situation they are in.
Most fights are the result of someone saying something they didn't mean to, someone wanting something different from someone else, and most fights are definitely the result of someone acting too quickly, without thinking of consequences and thinking through the situation.
Romeo did this when he is so enraged from Mercutio's death that he goes to kill Tybalt in Act 3, Scene 1. He did not stop to think of the Prince's rule about fight in the streets, or the consequences of his actions. He let his temper guide him in killing Tybalt, resulting in his banishment.
A quick temper comes from your surrounding environment. Even if you are raised in a good environment, you can still be quick-tempered.
Romeo is quick-tempered in his passion and grievances because he has not tried to stop or control his emotions. This quick temper leads to RASH BEHAVIOR, causing him to kill Tybalt and almost kill himself. Both of these incidents are in moments of sadness and anger.
Even if Romeo was able to partially control his emotions, his quick anger might be nonexistent. But because of his sheltered existence, he has not needed to exercise control.
A temper comes from a persons environment. If their parents or the people around them are mean or short tempered than that person may become short tempered. Also a stressful environment can add to a bad temper. Fights are usually due to someone not spending enough time thinking about what the consequences of fighting may be. Romeo does not think about the law against killing in Verona's streets before he fights and kills Tybalt.

A quick temper is caused by someone's environment. If you are surrounded by stress and other harsh emotions, this can cause a person to snap and lash out at others around them. But if you are surrounded by peace and happiness, then there is no reason to have a temper.
Fights can either be slowly ignited or because of someone acting quickly. If you have had this growing hate for a certain person or group of people then there is no doubt that you are going to have a fight with this person. But also if randomly somone insults you then you also are going to pick a fight with them.
In scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet the Capulets and the Montagues meet on the town square. They fight because of the long family feud and because of some harsh words that were said.
