Anger. A controlling sensation of which I have lived with my entire life: an experience of truly horrific re-occurrences.
When I say that my anger is controlling I don’t mean that I have my occasional little tantrums, I go into another state of mind, one of which only a few people have yet seen me in.
It is unimaginably frightful for people around me and even worse for me. It interests me, my anger, and it makes me wonder what a human being is capable of, what lengths a certain emotion could push you to reach and how you would reach them.
I see personalities as masks in a way that people wear them in front of you and it could either be a genuine, kind mask or it could be a stuck up obnoxious mask. These masks are only what we see when we’re with them, but what really goes on inside there heads when they’re alone?
I have a bit of a cocky, arrogant mask in my perspective but when I am alone, that’s when anger kicks in.

As a baby my parents split up and I was bounced consistently from family member to family member. I don’t value their separation but from what I know I can understand why it was necessary. The parting of my Mum and Dad: I believe is why I was, let’s say a ‘troubled child’. I was spoiled as a kid and smothered with crap to distract me from the fact that my family was falling apart.

‘You’re a troubled child' , this was the words of a teacher that worked in my primary school and had just witnessed me fighting with another pupil in the playground. ‘You have to channel your anger before it’s too late’, famous quotes from primary school teachers, but I ask myself now, was I bad? Or was I simply lacking attention and support?
In primary I was not a ‘bad’, ‘disrespectful’ or ‘disobedient’ boy, I was a hardworking individual whose feelings and emotions had to be expressed.
I remember sitting in class and having to put up with people flinging things at me, along with calling me names and pushing me around like I was a no-body.
No! I

    As a human being, anger is an unavoidable emotion. It is close to impossible to control other people’s reactions, but how you control your reactions depend entirely on you. George Jean Nathan said, “No man can think clearly when his fists are clenched.” Meaning no person can make the correct decision when they are being driven by their anger. It’s difficult to handle strong emotions, but it takes an even stronger person to learn how.…

    Anger is a normal and necessary human emotion but can also have an effect on an individual’s aggressive behaviour. Anger is a person’s response to things such as threats and it can bring strong, aggressive feelings as a defence mechanism when being attacked. When the anger begins to get out of control it can become damaging and this can then lead to continuous challenging behaviour. Being assertive is the healthiest way of dealing with anger; it enables people to suppress their anger and enables them make and meet their needs clearly and without hurting other people. Anger can also be supressed by allowing the person to calm themselves down i.e. walking or focus on positive things, however this can create a person to turn their anger inwards and hurt themselves physically i.e. high blood pressure, depression etc., develop a pessimistic/aggressive personality or even indirectly attack others.…

    Certain families have a low tolerance for revealing undeniable emotions in front of others. With this being said, children are taught that they should not express these emotions at all. Covering up these emotions will result in a possible outburst, or worse. Stress is tremendously related to anger. Healthy stress is considered a motivator, and it is what keeps us focused during the day. “Distress” is a type of stress that causes people to lash out and become irritable. This usually happens when someone is overwhelmed with stress, and it is no longer a motivator.…

    The fight happened just after my P.E. class. We were all in the locker rooms, (me in the boy’s locker room obviously) and we had just finished changing. Another of the boys by the name of Bryce, was the one who gave me the most trouble. He had started ramming me into closed lockers by shoving me with his shoulder, using all his force to push me into it. Each time he did that, he backed away and got farther away before he darted towards me again. Finally, I had grown tired…

    Of course, not all frustrations lead to anger. Indeed, it is more common to accept frustration, the blockage of our wants or goals, as feedback suggesting that we adjust or alter our aims. We do this automatically, hour by hour, day by day. Frustration signals the error in the trial-and-error process by which we dialectically adjust our perspectives to external powers and potentialities. To live, to assert one-self, is to be hindered, to face difficulties, to be opposed.…

    My temper depends solely on whoever I’m with and what mood I’m in. If I’m in a good mood, you can do practically anything and I wouldn’t be bothered at all. If you catch me in a bad mood or if someone has been pushing me to my limit, just a single wrong move will have me popping off and yelling at you. At times, if you pushed me too far, I wouldn’t be able to control my emotions and actions which would lead me to either tear up or become physical; in both cases I will find a way to yell at you.…

    The two people that have influenced my life the most are my parents. They are the ones that get to know me the best .My parents have influenced me and helped me. So they have become my biggest influences. It happened and happens almost every month or two so this lesson influenced and still influences me every day but the gist is do not get angry or you’ll regret it. What happened was that one day at home I had a bad day so I was not in the best mood. Then the slightest thing triggered me yelling or getting angry at someone for no good reason. So what happened was I was walking around the house fuming when my parents came walking by I was angry so when they said “hi” or “good morning” I would just get angry at them. This happened for a while and I got punishments at the time I was just annoyed or it just got me angrier but now I see it was just discipline to show that you can’t just get angry, throw a fit and rage at everyone, you have to control your anger and solve your problems…
