ANGER MANAGEMENT I was so angry, I hit a window with my hand. I broke the glass and my hand and wrist were hurt. Luckily, nothing was broken. Amanda, 13 I kicked a classmate because he insulted me. I was furious, and acted without thinking. Steve, 15 I havent spoken to my parents for days because they wont allow me to go to the music festival with my friends. Sally, 16 Probably everyone occasionally feels like Amanda, Steve or Sally furious enough to hurt themselves or someone else, or angry about something for days. However, not everyone acts in a harmful way because of these feelings. Thats a big difference. Its normal to feel angry, but its important to control it. This control is called anger management. There are good reasons to learn anger management. Most importantly, it stops us from saying or doing something well be sorry about. Second, if you dont control your anger, you wont make friends easily. Finally, proper anger management can prevent health problems such as heart disease and back pain later in life. Anger management experts have developed practical techniques for controlling anger. One suggestion is simple: when you feel youre about to lose control of your words or actions, walk away from the situation. If thats impossible, try a quick relaxation exercise. This helps because anger causes the heart to beat faster and the muscles to become tense. Count slowly to ten or imagine a peaceful place and relax your muscles. This will help you become calmer, so you can respond properly to the situation. In situations such as Sallys, experts advise finding a solution to the situation. If that doesnt work and youre still angry, the relaxation technique will help. In addition, exercise regularly. This will release endorphins and these brain chemicals are known to make you feel good. Other helpful activities are writing in a journal, drawing, painting, dancing, playing an instrument and listening to music. Try practising these anger management techniques when you feel angry. Maybe theyll help you.
