Why do I get angry easily?

Anger is an emotion that everyone experiences. It is a response to a threat. However, some of us get angry more often than others. Young people can learn to react to anger in healthy and unhealthy ways. The feeling can arise due to physical discomforts, such as when you are feeling hungry, when you hurt yourself, or when you believe other people have done you wrong.

Is it bad to get angry?

No, anger is a normal emotion. And you are allowed to feel this emotion too. However, it is important to learn to control your emotions. Learning to control your anger will make you feel better about yourself, and you will get more enjoyment from life. Responding to anger in unhealthy ways is a well-known well-being issue.

How to Deal with Rejection (Part 2)

If I get rejected, how should I handle it?

Some teenagers can seek to want to get back to anyone who says no to them which makes them feel rejected. This can in turn back fire and you feel worse. This act can also be known as revenge.

If you feel hurt because you were #rejected, it is important to address your feelings. Trying to blow it off or pretend that it does not matter will only cause problems for you later. When feeling rejected, you want to:

1. Accept yourself and be honest with how you feel.

2. Ask yourself what you are thinking and making someone else’s action mean about you.

3. Are you also rejecting yourself? Teach self-acceptance.

4. Share your feelings with others. Find someone you trust and share with them the facts of what happened and how you feel about it. And finally;

5. Remove yourself from the situation and give some compassion. Note down three explanations of what else might have caused the other person to behave that way that has nothing to do with you.

How to Deal with Rejection (Part 1)

How Can I avoid being rejected?

Adolescents can take rejection personally, especially when it comes to dating. There is no way to avoid being rejected because getting rejected is part of being human. Everyone gets rejected at some time or the other. It is an act of pushing something or someone away. If someone doesn’t want to;

• Befriend, play or talk to you

• Hang out, invite you to a gathering or club,

• Add you to a social media page, or you are being told ‘NO’ in other situations.

It is not about you; it is about them. As your thought creates your feeling and action, so do theirs. If you cannot change the situation as it is outside your control, how about you try to change your thought about it? Repeatedly rejecting yourself and believing that you are “not good enough” or you are a ‘loser’ can kick in the strong negative emotions. Such as feelings of doubts, hurt, anger, anxiety, and great sadness. Now, that is a well-being issue. Through practicing self-acceptance, you can start to heal from the hurt experienced as a result of rejection.
