Can you believe this about the Jonas Brothers??!?

Question

Yeah, right...

My friend keeps talking about how she has to punch something or hurt herself to release her anger.. She says it "relieves pressure." What are some healthy ways she can get rid of her anger? She said punching soft things doesn't work, because she doesn't get that satisfaction.

I really need your help.

Answer 1

she can punch something like ur bed but she doesn't have 2 hurt herself thats not right its so wrong

Answer 2

listen to music.

or go on a walk get away from the situation.

i have done that sometimes but i relized it was stupid and immature

Answer 3

tell her to punch the jonas brothers or their fans

Answer 4

anger manegment classes...or "emo" classes...or take her to one of those persons that can make her lay on a bed and tell her her problems...thats what my friend does :]]]

Answer 5

this has nothing to do with the jonas brothers BUT i think you should figure out a healthy way for her to release her anger and keep her from hurting herself... tell her parents about it or maybe buy her a punching bag and tell her how good of a friend she is and explain to her that she isnt only hurting herself... but shes hurting you too

Answer 6

I think my method should work fine, Let's say if another person during the day caused your anger what you will do now is take 10 deep breaths and clear your mind, if this doesn't happen to work take this into mind: If you choose to release your anger on this person (and you really want to because they did something bad to you lets say) realize that by releasing your anger on them they will then in return release more anger on you and the ending is result is MORE anger.

So it payed off just to let the whole thing slide and do NOTHING, Now I understand it's not always going to be possible once in a while you might blow up but for the most part it won't happen if you keep my advice in mind.

You say that normally you read your Bible, so I'm going to make the assumption here that you are a Christian or are at least a believer in God. Humans are sinful by nature and we are prone to anger. Anger itself is not a problem, it is our reaction to it. Anything that takes our focus off God and glorifying God is sinful. This anger sounds like it is consuming you. God tells us to cast our worries upon him - let him deal with it. You can do this by praying for God to help you through this anger. Tell Him you are giving it to Him and then don't take it back. Whenever you think about it - this is not God's doing. Satan wants you take that anger back. So when you think about it, pray and tell God you are NOT taking back the anger and ask Him to help you change your heart and help you think about something else.

Read (NIV):

Proverbs 29:11 - A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.

Proverbs 29:22 - An angry man stirs up dissention, and a hot-tempered one commits many sins.

Jas 1:19-20 - My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.

Keep reading and pray. God will get you through this when you rely on Him.

Answer 7

She could either: punch a punching bag, she could scream and yell at the top of her lungs (i usually do this in my pillow as well), go for a run or play some sort of sport, she could talk to you or someone about it, she could slam a door (but don't get in trouble by your parents), chill to some music to calm her down, go shopping (this actually helps), get out of the house, get some fresh air.. There are plenty of things she could do. My friend squeezes play-doh and throws it around. Lol. But it helps her..

Good luck.

Answer 8

tell her 2 punch the jonas brothersXD

Answer 9

i know how she feels, i feel the same way sometime. tell her to put her head into a pillow and scream as loud as she can..basically up until she turns red lol , sign her up for boxing/kickboxing/karate or just buy her a firm punching bag from one of those sporting good stores.

Answer 10

All right, I'd recommend she get some stress balls and bite them. (its weird, but it helps)

Also, buy her some soft stuff to throw.

Scream into her pillow. That's what I do.
