I get mad really easily? I'm 16 and it just started happening over the past couple weeks?

I get mad really easily and it's over stupid things like when someone jokes around with me, somebody will do something for me (but it's not to my liking so I do it anyway), etc.

What I noticed is it's never anything I do like miss an easy shot in a hockey game or fall down trying to get to the puck, it's only when others are involved.

Is it just hormones or do I have an anger issue? (again, I'm 16)

thanks

    Well your hormones could be causing you to have an anger issue. Try to understand that feelings can't be controlled. They just happen to you. However, how you chose to react to those feelings are entirely up to you. You can chose to punch someone, lash out or you can chose to walk away. They are all choices, but each one has a different consequence. If you feel like your feelings are getting out of control, you really need to talk to someone. Probably in your situation, the best bet would be a counselor or an adult you can trust. Good luck. I promise, it really doesn't last that long.

    A selection of treatments follow: If you can't deal with it by using one of the techniques, such as counting backwards from 20, to 1, (and prevent yourself from making yourself angry, in the first place) is important to express that anger appropriately, at the time, and to the person who caused it, if possible, or immediately afterwards. If not, maybe by walking away later, and bellowing your rage and/or frustration. In some situations, such as work, or school, it might be better to cover your mouth with a cupped hand, bandanna/handkerchief, or use the crook of your elbow, to muffle the sound. Some people find that it helps to journal those thoughts, and emotions soon afterwards.

    Anger, which is repressed, rather than healthily expressed, tends to fester, and later may cause explosive fits of rage, or depression. Let yourself feel the burning energy of that anger, and visualise it, as vividly as possible, as a hot flame cleansing you. It can help to have someone you can talk to. For more physically inclined people, a punching bag, or hitting your pillow, can be an effective release mechanism: visualise, as vividly as you can, that you are striking back at the cause of that anger. "But next time, when you get mad, just remember this quote: 'Those who anger you, conquer you.' It's basically saying that when you give someone the power to make you mad, or let it get to you, it's like they're controlling you.

    When I realized that, it made me mad, so I try to control my anger and not let people see it. You can still control your anger without being walked all over. You just have to draw a line." Try saying to yourself, in your mind: "I am fire! I am ice!". Repeat for as long as it takes for you to calm down sufficiently. Anger management is addressed in much more detail than can be included here, in section 4, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris and practice daily, one of the relaxation methods in section 2, 2.c. 11, or 2.i

    A variant of Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing therapy, which has been used successfully for those people suffering from anxiety: it is easily learned, quick to use, yet can be very effective, is on page N, of section 6, and I use it before the relaxation techniques, because I have found that it makes them quicker to employ, and more effective. These will enable you to emotionally centre yourself, when practiced regularly. Option: www.hypnosisdownloads.com "anger"

    It's definitely hormones, you're going through puberty. It's ok, I'm like that to people like my parents I just yell at them for trying to talk to me. I know it's horrible and we shouldn't do it, it's just that we really can't help it. It's a time in our life that we're just going through. Pretty soon like college years will be the time that we get over it. Don't stress about the problem, it just makes it worse.
