Example: When I was 15, my brother, who was then 10, borrowed one of my books. When he returned it, the back cover had been partly torn off. I shouted at him for not taking care of my book, and when he acted like he didn't really care, I slapped him across the face so hard that I bruised his cheek and he bawled his eyes out to high heaven.

ouch! in the US that's considered child abuse. hmmm... perhaps some anger management will help?
I don't think that's child abuse. I think that's two siblings fighting. I know a lot of siblings that do the same thing to each other. However I do think that seeking some type of help for those issues would work wonders. Although, sometimes breathing (a techniques that is sometimes used in anger management classes) does not help.
It doesn't help me.
If I'm mad, I need to beat it out of someone.
ush: Might as well be the person that ticked me off.
I confess, I can be a bit of a "Mean Girl" when you push my buttons. Stupid questions get stupid answers. Sometimes people take my answers the wrong way and I have to explain it to them. I have no problem helping you out, but if you ask me the same question all the time for 6 months, come on, you should know the answer. No one can be that ignorant. (I'm talking about adults. Children can ask me anything until the cows come home, that's fine. I'm mainly talking about my current coworkers who can't spell, remember, or comprehend above a rock) I'm as nice as pie, but I have no problem sticking up for myself. I'm not going to let anyone walk over me. Period. (I wish they had some kind of jerking smilie because that would work sooo well right here
)
