I Need Help Desperately

by Mark

Have you ever watched freak out kid on YouTube? I get 1/10 as mad as he does but not as brutal. My grades are going down, I'm not happy, and I feel horrible. I can't cool down fast enough to the point that I'm calm. The teachers don't believe me.

I have tried everything I know that I learned the last 5 years and nothing has worked. I need help getting my anger down. I can't live like this for the rest of my life. I feel horrible when I do calm down.

Please help me. I am 13 years old, love snowboarding and chess.

Hello Mark, and thanks for telling your story here.

Check out my responses on these two stories by visitors exactly your age:

Blowing Up For No Reason

I Am An Angry Child

Follow the recommendations I made on those pages, Mark, and you will get the results you're looking for.

You're obviously a smart boy, and you can definitely take charge of your anger.

I think it's great that you love snowboarding and chess. One is physical and the other is mental--good job!

You said that you feel horrible when you calm down. I don't know if you're interested, but check out this page on self love and this CD program on meditation to learn to feel more comfortable when you're calm.

You can do this, Mark. Believe in yourself, and make up your mind how you want to feel and what kind of person you want to be.

My very best to you,

Dr. DeFoore
