Easy Read: Understanding and Managing Anger 🌟 For Teenagers, Young People and Adults

 

🌟 

😑 What is Anger?

Anger is a strong feeling.
We all feel angry sometimes.
That’s OK.
Anger can happen when:

  • Something feels unfair

  • Someone hurts us

  • We feel scared, upset or left out

  • Something bad has happened


πŸ’­ Ask Yourself These Questions

❓ What are you angry about?

Try to say it in one sentence.
Example: “I’m angry because someone shouted at me.”

❓ What is the problem?

Is it something someone said or did?
Is it something that keeps happening?

❓ Who is the problem?

Is someone making you feel angry or unsafe?
Is it a friend, family member, teacher, or someone else?

❓ Why are you angry?

Anger can hide other feelings like:
😒 Sadness
😨 Fear
πŸ˜” Embarrassment
😀 Feeling ignored or treated badly


πŸ—£️ What to Do With Your Anger

✔ Talk to someone you trust

  • A parent or carer

  • A teacher or support worker

  • A friend or family member

  • A counselor or helper

Don’t keep it all inside.
Talking can help you feel better.

✔ Stay safe

  • If you feel like shouting or hitting, take a break

  • Go for a walk, draw, or listen to music

  • Breathe in slowly… and breathe out

  • Count to 10 before you react


🚫 What Not to Do

  • Don’t hit others

  • Don’t hurt yourself

  • Don’t break things

  • Don’t shout at people who are trying to help

 Get Help If...

  • You feel angry all the time

  • You are hurting yourself or others

  • You feel like you will explode

  • You are using alcohol or drugs to calm down

You are not alone.
Help is always there.


✅ Safe People to Talk To

  • School counselor

  • Social worker

  • GP or doctor

  • Helplines or mental health services

  • Youth clubs or support groups


πŸ’‘ Remember:

It’s OK to feel angry.
It’s what you do with the anger that matters.
There is always someone who can help.
You don’t have to go through it alone.
