Everyone gets angry. Many things may make you angry. Maybe your teacher gave you too much homework. Or maybe a friend borrowed your favorite video game and then broke it. You may get angry when something doesn't go your way. Maybe you get mad at yourself when your team loses an important game. Or maybe you become a road anger (路怒族) when a driver accidentally cuts in front of you. That makes you angry.
You need to know what to do with your anger. Here are some things you can do when you feel angry:
Talk to a friend you can trust.
Count to 10.
Greet or give a hug.
Take some exercise.
Draw a picture of your anger.
Play a video game.
Run around the outside of the house five times as fast as you can.
Sing along with the CD player.
Pull weeds in the garden.
Think good thoughts (maybe about a fun vacation or your favorite sport).
Take a bike ride, go skating, play basketball-do something active!
Never getting angry is impossible. But when you're angry, you can do something and it can make things better or worse. Don't let anger be the boss of you. Take charge of it.
