Girls have anger too

                 Boys are not the only ones struggling with anger. Gossip, rumors, boys, and problems at home are the main things that cause anger in teenage girls. The when we are angered, we feel pressured not to show it. Therefore girls are confused in ways to handle or deal with it.

                 There are hundreds of things that cause girls to get angry. The main ones are also the worst ones. Gossip and rumors get spread extremely fast at high schools and words get switched around. So by the time another person hears it the rumor and gossip are worse. One of the other main things causing anger is boys. Girls love to fight over boys. They have to have the best, hottest, most popular jock they can get. Before long it will cause a fight between the girls that like that guy. As a result of that one of those girls could be your best friend. The last but most important cause, is a girl’s home life; fights between siblings, parents, and their family members. Whether it’s a family argument or parents that are divorced or getting divorced it has a major affect on a girl’s life. Girls depend on their families to be there with them in their times of need. With all this anger, girls need some way to deal with it.

                  Most girls do not know how to deal with their anger correctly and in a safe way. They are just more worried about getting rid of it. So in hope that they will get rid of their anger girls turn to drugs, alcohol, cutting, and seclusion. Drugs and alcohol can take your mind off it for the time being, but won’t completely take it away. A way to take your mind of anger is with pain. Some girls choose to take razors, safety pins and knives and cut their wrists and other areas of their bodies. One more way is going into complete seclusion. They won’t communicate with their family and friends and sometimes won’t even eat. Girls need to change their ways of dealing with their anger without hurting themselves or the people around them.

In my opinion the most affective way to handle your anger is by going to a counselor. There, you are talking your problems out and learning how to handle things to change your behavior. It will not only help you but also the people around you. Some other ways are talking it out with your family and friends. You can keep a journal and write down your problems in that. Girls can also ignore the gossip and rumors or walk away from the problems. Therefore, there are better, healthier ways to deal with your anger.

                 With all the things that can cause anger, there are more ways to take care of them. Guys are not the only ones with anger issues and girls need to show it more that we have anger too. Not showing it in a bad way, but in a way that shows that we need help too. So next time you get mad, just remember that your not the only one. Girls have anger too.
