Hey. I'm 11 and it's seems like I'm always mad! I don't know why but if someone even touches me, like my sister, I'll lash out and hit her. Like on the school bus last week, one of my kinda friends was teasing me. I got up and started punching him! he said something else and I slapped him right across the face! Now I could have got suspended for it but he didnt tell, but I'm always like that! Even with my family. All except my mom and grandma. Please help!! Idon't want to take anger managment but im going into theripy if i dont improve

You are at an age when your hormones are trying to spike up. Hormones are really strange in how they affect our moods and body. It would be of great use to you for the here and now and in the far future to go through some anger management classes. Sometimes we just need an understanding of what we are going through and how to channel it properly in a civilized manner. Keep an open mind. You are lucky to have counseling as a resource.

If you are male hormones start subsiding at 30, females unfortunately follow the patern/phases of the moon for a very very very very long time.

Kate might benefit from some kind of Chemical intervention too.....I hate to see children on drugs, but chemical imbalances are messed up and happen to everyone, children included! You need to speak to your Dr. about it, and REALLY try to stress the point of HOW angry and frustrated you get, how often, and how it FEELS....like you chemically cannot control it!

I believe in Anger Management too, I mean, all my life I considered myself to be a very laid back calm person who could always look at both sides of every coin and understand other's points of view without flipping out.....it's just lately that a bout with Steroids threw me all out of whack, and now I need calming chemicals to try to bring me back down to where a normal person should be....and that means NOT flipping out crazy over the stupidest of little things!

Good Luck! :S

I understand what you are going through, but, when you get angry, just try and remember to treat people how you want to be treated. If you go on like this, you will chase all your friends away and that will be no fun then you really will be angry. Anger management will probably help you . Try it.

Try getting regular exercise as that improves mood and helps you to feel in control of yourself.
