I get mad a lot at little things that happen.
I don’t show that I’m upset, but in my room I cry.
I try to tell my family about it, but either they
don’t listen or telling them makes it worse.
I don’t know what to do.

A Letter to You
When you were little, your emotions were
simple. You smiled when you were happy.
You cried when you were scared or hurt.
You had only a few ways of responding to
what happened to you, and you didn’t think
about your moods much at all.
Now that you’re older, your emotions are
more complicated. You might freeze up
during a test or slam your door when you’re
mad. It might seem like you’re on an emo-
tional roller coaster—up one minute and
down the next. But if you learn more about
your feelings, you can keep them from racing
out of control. You can be in charge—and that
makes the ride a whole lot easier.
