Anger
Anger is a normal feeling to have when you are unhappy, annoyed, frustrated or do not like something that has happened.
It is a strong feeling and there are lots of reasons why you might get angry like:
- Having problems with your friends
- Feeling very anxious or scared or worried about something that has happened now or in the past
- Bullying
- Seeing other people like family or friends arguing
- Thinking something is not fair or right
If you are angry you might feel your heart beating faster or your stomach feeling a bit funny. You may also scrunch up your fast, tense up your body or clench your fists. Spotting these signs can help you handle your anger.
Sometimes you might not know why you are angry and that’s ok. Talk to your parent, carer, or guardian about it and see if you can work together why you are feeling this way. If you find you lose your temper or get angry easily, or if you are very anxious or scared about something, it is important to talk to someone about it (like a parent, teacher or someone you trust) so you can get help to make things better.
