Question

Anger 

Sometimes i get really really annoyed, where i just want to break things. Last week i was at home and i started thinking about my day at school, i had got into trouble and it wasnt my fault i couldnt stop thinking about it and how the teacher had not let me explain, so i punched my wardrobe and it fell off the hinges. This has been happening a lot lately where i cannot control my anger and i get annoyed so easily, i dont know how to control my feelings and i dont want to be angry all the time, and i really would like another way to deal with these feelings rather than breaking things. Thanks xx

Hi and thanks for your letter

Lots of people have difficulty controlling strong feelings. You are not alone with this at all. It sounds from what you are saying that you got the blame for something you did not do.

If this is still making you feel angry think about talking to the teacher again or even writing down what happened. They should give you the chance to say what happened.

It is really good that you have been able to write to me about your anger worries and talking about how you are feeling is one way of trying to manage them.

There are lots of other ways to deal with anger such as play sports, going for a run, listening to calming music or even loud music can help. Others might punch a pillow or go somewhere and just scream to let it out.

Have a look at the ChildLine message boards and send a post to see what advice other ChildLine users have to give.

Well done for asking for some advice with this.

Take care

Sam
