Have you ever been this mad?

[Anonymous]

Ok so today some people made me super pissed off for a few reasons all u need to know is this kids been harassing me for a long time and now he's trying to embarress me in front of everyone in my class also he always tries harrassing me when he has his friends around me because he is all talk. So now today he was telling people to throw things at me to mess with me while making fun of me so I got up and told him to fight me... And he said chill and blah blah blah. Ok now to the question is it normal for you to go numb and stop feeling anything (like the feeling of your arms but you feel really strong if that makes anysense) feeling your heart beat in your chest. Also while he was doing this o thought of seven different ways I could knock him out in a minimum of & seconds. Have you ever dealt this angry? What do think I should of done because tbh l was about to do one of the seven things I was thinking. Which involved and object on the wall.

This is a normal feeling of angry

I have never been that mad

I feel you, it's not a nice emotion to have :(

There's very little I can say that's really going to help much right now. High School is a sucky time in life. You're forced together in this restrictive environment with a whole lot of frustrated, hormonal teenagers many of whom haven't developed proper empathy yet, and some kids will just get treated like shit for no real reason. It's horrible.

At no other time in your life are you going to have to deal with this kind of thing. Once you're out of there, no-one is going to think it's okay to treat you like that, and if they decide to you can get them in serious legal trouble.

But for now; you're in over your head, and the best thing you can do is ask for help. It's not admitting weakness. It's showing maturity.

I'm not going to lie, when I was in school, I punched plenty of people in the face. I hospitalised a kid by doing this while I had a pen in my hand once.. Having had these kids pick on me for ages, it felt pretty damn good to do physical damage to them, in the moment. But afterwards all I felt was fear, of how much trouble I was in and how disappointed my Mum was in me. I still got bullied, if anything I was picked on more for drawing attention to myself.

So from experience, I'm telling you be smarter than I was. You're clearly more developed than these morons who choose to bully people. In a few years you'll be on your way out of there and these degenerates if they haven't changed their ways will be crashing and burning of their own accord.

The best revenge you can get is to enjoy your life despite them trying to drag you down.

I woulda knocked that dude out by now. I have felt that angry before on several different occasions, usually it stems, at least from me, is the inability to act. However, I don't think that is a normal feeling of anger, since I have been told I have anger issues so I'm not sure if that is a rational anger response or not. I'm not saying violence is the answer, but bullying has always pissed me off so much, especially when its not aimed at me but someone else, so I would have to get involved. Probably in a physical altercation.

I also get weirdly calm right before I burst out with anger. I start to laugh sometimes too. But I don't know, I'm weird like that.

Yeah I feel you after wards I kinda started to tear up in my next class and I wasn't sad just angry

Its definitely not good to stay angry all the time though. I have found that out the hard way. It would be good to find something to help release that anger doing something that is not violent. Staying anger will lead you into fights or altercations over something really stupid and trivial and that you will feel bad about after. For me I found working out to be a great release and have thought about joining either boxing or mma, but we'll see.

However, I would say that you need to confront this guy on this. Whether or not it leads to a fight, you still need to stand your ground on this and not let him get to you, because that is what he wants.

I am usually slow to anger but when it happens rationality runs away from me like it encountered a pack of wolves. I usually go numb and I just go wild , all fear of being hurt gets put on hold and all I can think about is hurting the person that made me this mad. My rationality tells me if I hurt them they will never do what ever it was that made me this crazed person

Normally, I am antivolence guy, but I think you should kick his ass in front of people. Go to a boxing trainer / mma trainer for at least two weeks EVERRYDAY for 2 or more hours, the. Fight him in a couple weeks

I really want to learn how to box but not because of bullies but because I like the sport do you think I could ask my stepdad who was in the military and is a police officer strategies to take down opponents as fast as possible?

I would go to a boxing gym or mma gym. You'll still be a novice in a couple weeks, but 40 hours of hard work can make a big noticeable difference

Alright I am out of shape so that would help ill ask if I can stay going to one tommorow
