37 Managing Your Emotions

What makes me angry? Mostly, I hate when someone tries to make someone else
feel bad. I have to admit that once, when I was really angry, I actually
called names. I regretted doing this afterwards, but not full heartedly
because I think I was provoked in that situation.

The most positive way of dealing with anger is talking about the problem. I
talk to someone who listens, or I'll write my thoughts down on paper. Learning
how to deal with anger as you're growing up is so important. When you're
younger, you might yell, or cry when you're angry, but as you get older,
you're expected to handle your emotions much better.
Learning to control your emotion now will prevent you from doing something
that you'll regret later on in life!

控制你的情緒

什么事會讓我憤怒呢？通常情況下，當有人試圖使別人覺得不舒服時，我會非常憤怒。我不得不承認，有一次，在我實在很生氣的時候，我確實罵了人。過后，我很后悔那么做，但我不認為全是我的錯，因為我覺得在那種情況下，我是被激怒了。

解決憤怒的最積極的方法是把問題說出來。我說給愿意聽的人，或者把我的想法寫在紙上。在你成長的過程中，學會處理憤怒是非常重要的。小時候，你生氣的時候可以大喊大叫或者哭鬧，但長大后，你被期望能更好地控制情緒。

現在就學著控制情緒能讓你避免做一些可能使你以后遺憾一生的事情。
