Anger Problems

Well, I don't pick up fights like DPS said. But, I do get angry if the some people did something quite rude or annoying to me. I would actually scold them WITH reasons. I wouldn't say it's a big problem, Ben. Maybe you should consider going to an anger management group.

From experience I would say to help control your anger think about the worst thing which could come from the situation, when I personally did that it scared me out of doing it. Also I would say that you could maybe talk to your school? Most schools have a system of helping kids with either like anger management issues or just need a bit of support Going to the school was the best thing I ever did, they gave me sessions of speech therapy (a bit like counselling, but less intense.. more friendly) and they issued me with a 'cool down card' (ment I could leave lessons without permission if I was angry). As mentioned by others, a punchbag is a great way of releaving stress (I used a pillow before I got one js :p)

Hope this kinda helped

Or just buy a punch bag, you can beat your punchbag up as much as you want and it won't fight back or get hurt. Nothing bad will ever come from punching foam.

Cannot actually believe that some of you are telling him that violence is the answer to some things. Nowadays, violence isn't just punch-ups. 50 years ago the majority of fight would involve punching and that'd be it. Nowadays, fights between teenagers (and adults for that matter) often escalate for no reason and knives get involved. I am aware you're only young (13 or 14) but you'd be surprised to see that even that age range, getting feuds with the wrong sort of people is a bad idea. And no, I'm not sprouting crap, I'm speaking from personal experience. I suggest you refrain from any violence my friend, and seek some anger management councilling. It doesn't make you a dafty, I myself used to have serious anger problems and I've done some awful things but I went to anger management councilling and they do have some tried and tested methods to help you control it (and I'm not talking about counting to 10 and breathing deeply).

You could try writing in anger, just write about how much of a **** they are and maybe some names to call them?

The worst thing you can do is bottle up how you're feeling. What you need to do is speak to someone, a friend, a teacher, a school pastoral worker. You'll find you can get things of your chest without the means of violence. Speaking about things such as people calling you for your disability to people you are close to helps to clear your mind, continue with life etc. Obviously they will continue, but the more you speak about it, the more stronger mentally you will become, up until you actually don't need to speak to someone anymore and you just ignore them and don't take anything to heart. Obviously, through your teenage years you'll have major mood swings and depressive times but that's just life, you can't do anything really.

So to summarise, just speak to people close to you about it really - get it off your chest. Don't result to violence and you should be okay.

(If anything doesn't make sense or I've repeated anything in the above sorry, I was watching TV at the same time so I wasn't concentrating and not even looked over it )

well that's a stupid thing to do ;l what is kicking a football at a car gonna do except potentially maim others? take a deep breath and walk away. what's a name? a name is nothing. is a name gonna kill you? no. you just need to take a mature attitude and get over the names and walk away. the bullies will probably respect you more for not rising to it. they're only looking for a reaction and time and time again yr giving them one.
