Anger

Some people handle anger without expressing or showing it at all.  The problem with not expressing anger is that it is likely to come out in unexpected ways.  As well, no one ever knows what you really think or want, so your needs aren't often met, which can make you even more angry.

The worst way to handle anger is through aggression or violence—by attacking someone with words or with physical force.  This can include yelling, name-calling, put-downs, pushing, fighting, and so on.  Violence is never an option.

The best way to handle anger is to be assertive, which means knowing what you need and want, and knowing how to ask for it—without being disrespectful of other people's needs and wants.
