I'm not very good at anger management, never have been, when a ton of stress comes my way I get very violent and may even hit someone and I have previous times(Teachers, Friends, etc) I have been able to keep my stress low for the last year, but because its my final year in school now, I have to work extra hard in school and fundraise money for my graduation and other issues, I become more angry, and frustrated.

A few tips on how to manage my anger and stress would be cool

Well, I hope you realise that once you are out of your parents hands and you hit someone, you are fucked for life. You will go to jail/prison and you will not be able to get a job and end up being a homeless bum with anger management problems. But hey, its your choice.

That doesn't really help...

Hmm...maybe you should look into seeing somebody about it. Getting into an anger management class. They can teach you all kinds of ways to deal with your anger. There are different breathing exercises, meditation. Uhm...you could write down all of your feelings. Maybe take up going to the gym and hitting a punching bag once a week, that's a good stress reliever, and you're not hurting anyone else. I hope I helped a little.

I'll try that

The punching bag really helps you. Join a boxing or kickboxing gym , or buy your own punching bag.

Oh, but it does. If you were to lose your anger in business in my country, you would be instantly fired. And with tradition, you will not be able to find a job except for maybe the lowest class. You, right now, are living in a realm without severe punishment, the sooner you realise this, the sooner you will force yourself to start controlling you actions and emotions.

That's exactly what I was giving him. He needs to realise about reality and how his actions affect himself.

Know how you feel mate. I got some bad issues with my temper, when I blow I tend to hit objects like walls and doors more than people but when I'm pushed I do that too. I'm now a knuckle down on my right hand from hitting a wall VERY hard in July, and I gotta admit it was an eye-opener for me, not done it since.

My best advice is just try and see the funny side of stuff if possible. Even if something completely bullshit happens just try and turn it into something funny and not let it get to you.

Sort of works for me, obviously there's some shit that just won't blow over and will make you spark, but this ain't gonna be an instant thing.


And THIS...
... is arguably the biggest bullshit I've ever read.

I'm 18, so legally out of my parents hands. I recently hit somebody in public, and yeah I'm in a spot of trouble with the police, but prison? Don't make me laugh, they've got a lot more serious offences to jail people for than minor assault. Obviously more serious things such as GBH, and the use of weapons would be dealt with more seriously, but providing you haven't just mindlessly smashed somebody you will usually get let off with a warning or a formal caution.

I'm either being given a caution, or being charged with ABH, which covers things such as bruises, cuts etc. So still a rather minor offence.

EDIT: Just realised you're in Canada, not sure about the legal system there but I'm sure it's a least similar to ours in the UK.
Either way, just try and luagh stuff off. Saves getting in shit in the first place.
