Somewhat OT, but y'know only one province out of 11 speaks French. If you come to my province, you're more likely to hear people speaking Mandarin.

Am I a terrible person for picturing an angry shadowx getting redder and redder with every religious recruitment post until steam comes out his ears? I know its annoying as heck on your end (major pet peeve of mine as well), but its making me laugh anyway. Anyway, there is no real or healthy way to suppress your anger, so you just need to find a nice safe way to express and "tame" it. Some people use sports or other forms of physical activity, which is good if you feel restless or full of too much unused energy. Long walks and other "calm-downs" work for others. Music helps a lot of people, but if angry music makes things worse you can always try experimenting with different genres. Talking to people about your problems can help too, but I wouldn't recommend a school counsellor... I don't know how it is in other places, but if you talk to your school counsellor here, you have no right or guarantee that what you say will be private, and counsellors are even required to report you in many cases, with or without your consent or knowledge. I dunno about you guys, but that's just not something I'd want if I were looking for an ear. Avoiding whatever is causing you to be angry probably isn't entirely healthy, but its something I do sometimes for various emotional triggers on those "just can't handle this" days.

try buying a punchbag dude, or a stressball

What I do is hit a punching bag. Gets all your anger out, and actually tires you out with a workout it gives you. And you feel better afterwards. That seems to work for me...

Meditating, soothing your mind will help. Drink lots of water, talk about it with a doctor, friend and/or parent or someone else, girlfriend or boyfriend maybe. Just stop for a moment and calm down.

Well little soul-brother, I can't offer you much useful advice because I am irritated and angered just as easily as you are. But, I can validate your feelings because I FEEL exactly what you mean. You see some of us were just born extremely sensitive people, and I just try to avoid things that stimulate my anger, like 'country music' for example.

As far as people who deliberately anger me, for sport, or because they are just rude, I confront them and kick them out of my life. I am totally fine being a hermit and because of this, I've been accused of being, aggressive, bi-polar, and a list of other things. But the real issue is I just have absolutely no tolerance for cruelty of any kind and it drives me nuts! I can't even watch the news because it makes me LIVID!

I'm a female, 33 years old, and I have NOT 'grown out of it' I was just born this way and I'll probably die p*ssed off at the world for a great many things. It's just a part of who I am. Righteous anger isn't so bad once you learn to accept it as your own and channel it into something productive. I am also very artistic, and so whenever I'm angry, I create something, either for myself, or a loved one and that usually helps:)

If you feel the need to take anger management, try it, but be forewarned, when I took it it just made me angrier than I was in the first place. It depends on who's teaching the course I suppose.

So, I just wanted to let you know you're NOT alone, and there are MANY other angry people in the world:) I am living proof:) Take care and don't be so hard on yourself

its just a phase dude. dont worry.

Hey, I'm similar. I've gone from being pretty laid back to just being barely below the surface with a ton - a TON - of pent up rage. I hate the world for ignoring me. I hate myself for being so ridiculous when I was younger and screwing myself up, missing all my chances to socialize. I hate all the people who reject me now. I hate the incredibly long way that stands between me and getting a job so I can have a fricking 20+ year torture show with a kid, home from a job I hate, back to the kid and a wife who thinks I'm garbage because I don't think the world is all candy and fluffy sunshine anymore.

I know this all sounds crazy. Hey, I'm HEAVILY medicated. I've seen shrinks. And my anger is only getting worse. Maybe I have a wrong outlook on the world, but it ain't getting better. Time off for vacation just means I'm that much further from my goal of having some crappy family to make my parents happy. Doing what I want to do instead means ruining my relationship with my parents and living on minimum wage. Either way I'll have no friends for the rest of my life because I'm a) crazy, b) fake and unpleasant or something, and see) now so angry I can barely contain it.

So I can fricking relate, for sure, man. I am going stone cold crazy trying to handle all this stupid relentless anger at a world I don't want to be in, can't leave with any dignity, and hate hate HATE waking up in every day. I'm not suicidal, though. I'd rather God had to kill me.

But I sure am angry as all get out. Something is just plain wrong with me.
