XX "Have you just had an arguement with a friend, mum, dad, brother, sister? Got a bad report from school? or just feeling down in the dumps?"

If you are feeling any of the above then this article can help you :D

Whenever someone has upsets me or I'm left feeling stressed from anything, I dont let it wind me up and let it make me mad because that just ends up causing more problems in the long run!

Instead I take a pen and a piece of paper and write it all down, I pretend I am writing a letter to someone (it doesn't matter who), I normally try and pick someone I know I can trust and have a good conversation with without getting frustrated at them 'cause they wont listen.(this person could also be imaginary and not real)

I write down every single thing that I'm feeling and write it down as if they were next to me listening, in this letter I would pretend I was having a discussion with them about whatever it was that was bothering me,
whether its mum & dad constantly moaning about homework, brothers and sisters trying to start a fight, people at school, friends you`ve had an arguement with by the time you`ve finished writing the letter to this person that you really trust (or have made up) you yourself have calmed down - now that you're calm again, read back through the letter and read what you wrote.

When reading the letter think to yourself 'was the arguement really their fault or was I partly to blame?', if I did a bit more homework would mum & dad give me a break? etc and use this to better yourself.

This is also good practise for helping you control your temper, instead of getting mad write it down!
