I want to take anger management classes but I don’t know how to bring it up to my parents. I am only 14 but I start physical and verbal fights just because we don’t have snacks or food I like in the house. Or cause someone comes in my room without knocking, and I share my room. I start fight and yell at my 2-17 year old siblings. Help!
Sally Smith answers:
Just talk to them about it, and they’ll take you a therapist to talk to.
Chris asks…
Are there free anger management classes?
I am a 17 year old male and I have a ferocious and explosive temper. I cannot control it at all and my dad said that if I have another rage that he is kicking me out. Money isn’t one of the things that we have a lot of. Is there free anger management classes for people that do not have a lot of money?
Sally Smith answers:
Ask your school counselor to see if they offer any anger management groups. Some school counselors or intervention specialists will address anger issues.
Do you have health insurance? Health insurance won’t cover anger management counseling, but often depression is the underlying factor that creates the explosiveness! If you have health insurance you should get a physical to rule out anything health wise that may be causing this; if you do be sure and ask the M.D. To screen you for depression.
If you need to rely on self-help books, I highly recommend books by Ron Potter-Efron - you can check in the library. Even if you have to buy one, his books are usually are very reasonable in price.
