"It is better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and resolve all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln

You can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that make you angry. Nor can you change them. Therefore the goal of anger management is to learn to control your reactions. Anger is a feeling; not a behavior. If you feel you have trouble controlling your reactions, see your school counselor. He/she may help you to come up with ways to reduce both the emotional feelings and physiological arousal (how your body reacts) that anger causes. Learning to control your reactions to the things or the people that make you angry is a neccessary skill for success in life, both today and tomorrow!
