like a lot of people think im really fun and happy and all, but if someone does something really mean to me, like hit me, in combination with a hell of a lot whining, which is really ennoying, or something, i tend to lose it.... like i go screaming and all and get mad and then end up not seeing my family member for ever..... so i'd like to just learn to keep my cool even though someones being a ***** and all, how?

I often have problems with my anger.. After going to many angry management classes I finally got one who knew what they were talking about she said the best thing to do is have a book - like a sort of diary whenever you get angry - or feel your about to write it down. All of it what your feeling and what you would like to do -given half the chance.
And once your calm again go back and read it ...you’ll no doubt find that whatever annoyed you in the first place wasn’t really that bad ... and if it was rant on about it some more till you feel better. Once the book is finished you can keep it or just throw it away
...There is one problem with this ...you have to guard the book with your life I don’t think your friends would like to read your list of 101 ways to kill them because they dropped some litter on the floor!!!!
