BREATHE. Remembering to breathe can seem difficult when you're so angry at someone that all you can do is feel like anger. You feel the blood pulsating under your skin, your fingers curl into fists and you genuinely have never felt more angry.
Breathe. Let oxygen get to your brain so it can function properly and think things through. Why are you angry at this person? Have they actually done such a despicable thing? Or have you warped their actions into something else? Egged on by friends, we can all feel like we hate people.
Being a teenager brings about lots of opportunities to get annoyed at people, and this annoyance can turn to anger. And with anger can come some pretty nasty things. So to avoid lashing out at people and getting suspended, take deep breaths, and leave the scenario. Block out everything, and listen to your conscience which will most likely be telling you to drop this anger.
So rule twenty one of surviving Teenagehood: is a stolen chip really that big of a deal?
