I write people letters but i never give it to them... you could also keep a journal... but having built up anger really isn't good for you... maybe you should try to talk to someone you trust about what's bothering you... I used to have a lot of built up anger too... I started opening up more and now my problem's passed... if you need to talk IM me...
klyova90 answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 5:23 pm: Well, there are a few ways to solve this. One way is to do what I do and listen to some hard-rock/metal bands (like disturbed, breaking benjamin, slipknot, etc.) and just shout along to the lyrics. It helps. Another way is the old fashioned hit the pillow technique, however it works much better if it has more mass like a sleeping bag. Yeah I know this method seems corny and cliche, but once youve exhausted your energy and anger on this, it works. [ klyova90's advice column | Ask klyova90 A Question ]
Ask_me_a_question answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 8:37 am: First of all, just find a private place (preferably at home when no one;s around) and SCREAM! into a pillow, right out loud, whatever. Cry, kick, throw a tantrum, anything that makes you feel better... lol :-D then once you have some of it out. Write a letter at who.whatever you are mad at. It can be REALLY MEAN, cuz you dont have to give it to them. Just let it out any way that you can, and don't bottle it up if you can help it.
hope i helped :-D

Reading a funny book, or taking a nap helps me, and I sometimes talk to others about my anger (I recommend someone you're not angry at).

S_C answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 6:57 am: I think writing, or listneing to music are good ways to soothe the soul. I'm one of those people that keeps everything inside, and I went towards cutting. Don't do that! Right now I've spoken with a teacher quite a few times. She doesn't bring it up in class, we just e-mail back and forth. Then I went to guidence. And what I hate most is they called home. So truly if you go to guidance or something, they might inform your parents of 'anger issues' which you might have. Take up a sport such as football, soccer, basketball, hockey... Yes, you can do those even if you are a girl, I promise.
Just try your hardest to work things out, and stay happy. Unless you aren't happy. Just let your friends know that you are having a bad day, and not to bug you, or just to leave you alone. But say it in a polite way.
