My father seems to think so. I do have a paper-thin temper, but I can keep it in check until I get home or to rehearsal (to rant, dance, or listen to Foamy the Squirrel (a great stress reliever)). Today I just lost it at my father because he was asking a question over and over when I told him, like, three times.
But I really did have a semi-bad day: I fell off the stage and twisted my ankle, I got into a fight with my frenemy, I had to repeat a simple direction five times to a kid in my Russian Literature class who wouldn’t stop asking me, “What are we supposed to do?” over and over again.
I know! It’s a part of life, but I got zero sleep last night. I’m going to snap and I tried to explain this to my father, but he wouldn’t budge. He says he’s going to put me into therapy if I don’t “knock it off.”
Would you do this? Do I honestly have “anger issues?”
(I apologize for the bratty rant.)

I would say your stress relievers are good ones, though maybe not so much the ranting; depends on if someone is willing to listen. And anyone can have a bad day and lose their temper. But it sounds like it wasn’t just today, and your father may have been the object of your wrath before. If you can “keep it in check” with other people, see if you can do that with him too. I find that the “pick your battles” mantra works really well for me. Next time you’re tempted to yell at your dad, ask yourself if it’s really that important. Or, instead of yelling, try laughing if he says something stupid and say “don’t be silly.” That worked with my kids when they were teens. Or just calmly say, “I already told you, Dad.”
I have a feeling this is only one side of the story, though, and if your dad truly has concerns about your emotional health, try talking to him about it when you’re both calm. Ask him what he’s worried about and why he thinks you need therapy. Then tell him why you think you don’t. If you can have a calm discussion about that, you probably don’t need the therapy.
well even if you don’t have an anger issue, you’ll probably learn some really helpful coping skills…I don’t think it would hurt anyway
My friend had the same problem and didn’t want to go but his mom made him and he’s glad he went now.
no just stay calm..
First off, your still a child living at home and you should respect your parents. We don’t always agree with them, but you should always respect them. Life is tough and believe me if you are having trouble keeping your anger under wrap now then you will have a heck of a time when you pay your own bills, and/or have a family. I think you should apologize to your father, don’t give him the excuses you gave us on yahoo. Just tell him I’m sorry dad, i shouldn’t have. I will begin to work on it now. Get on the internet and read about anger management, abuse towards a parent, and try to recognize the signs before it happens again and also how to control your anger. Please don’t ruin you and your dads relationship or your relationship’s to come bc you had a bad day or a lack of sleep. Remember you’re the one who looks bad when you lose control not anybody else.
well my brother has Anger management problems, he will go off over the simplest things, my step dad and school for a while thought i did until they figured that i was just under so much stress that when certain people say certain things i would explode and do what i call “spit daggers” because i would take in personal things that people say to me or that i figure out about them forget it then when i go off it all comes out and people shutter and flinch when i say the one things that hurts, but you most certainly do not have anger problems you have what i had an environment that doesn’t get you and hates you, but i promise at some point it’ll get better but you go to make it change take that step and confront the people and make them do whats best for them and you at all costs but another thing that helps me and my brother is to get a hobby that relaxes you, i write things, my brother plays shooter games that get his anger out soon i promise that it will get better if you work your way to it
