Doing relaxing exercises, talking with friends and listening to light music are all usual ways of relieving(减轻) stress.

Do you get angry at your friends’ singing loudly while you are working? Or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?

If you do, you need to control your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry with people can make you lose friends.

Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written My feelings Are Just Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better. Getting angry is not a natural way to act. It is just a bad habit, like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily—all you have to do is telling yourself not to be angry.

When a baby falls over, it only cries if people are watching it. Like a baby, you should only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.

·Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily.
