健康生活:如何管理好我們的情緒
I'm 13 years old and lately I've been angry a lot. Anything will make me mad, and when I do get mad I usually go into a rage. Is this normal and is there anything I can do to get rid of this anger?
“我今年13歲，近來常常感到容易憤怒。幾乎任何事都能讓我發狂，而一旦陷入這種狀態就會繼而開始暴怒。這樣算正常嗎？我要怎麼做才能遠離這種情緒呢？”Our emotions, like our bodies, can go through some crazy and unfamiliar changes during adolescence. Feeling angry from time to time is a normal part of this. Everyone experiences mood swings during their teenage years, and these emotions may be so strong that they catch us by surprise.
和我們的身體相似，在青少年期，我們的情緒也會經歷一些大的，特別的變化。時常感到容易發脾氣也算是這些變化中的一部分。每個人在青少年時期都會經歷情緒的波動，有時候這種波動很大，甚至讓我們自己都感到吃驚。There are ways you can try to manage anger. First, try to mentally back away from your anger and figure out if anything in particular is making you mad. Sure, the hormones of puberty may be playing a part, but are other things in your life causing you to feel like this? Maybe you're under more stress at school or perhaps your family is going through difficult changes, like a move or divorce.
有些方法可以試着去管理好我們的情緒。首先，試着從心理提醒自己不要發怒，並且理出是否有某些特殊的事情讓你憤怒。當然，青春期的荷爾蒙變化也可能導致這樣，但是是否生活中確實有某件事情導致你變得煩躁，易怒？比如可能是來自學校的壓力或者家庭里正經歷着一些困難（搬遷或父母的離異）讓你這樣。
Sometimes, it's not one thing but a lot of little things leading to frustration. Although you may not recognize what's making you mad at exactly the moment you feel like exploding, taking time to evaluate things can help you learn to manage those emotions.
有些時候可能並不是單獨的一件事，而是許多事導致你感到很沮喪。雖然在你正處於情緒失控當時並不能及時發現原因，但花點時間分析下可能的原因會幫助你更好地管理自己的情緒。Try to deal with what's causing you to be angry. If pressures at school or home are mounting, talk them over with a parent or another adult. Learning when and how to calm down can be very useful for people of any age. Working off some of that negative energy in constructive ways, like exercising or writing in a journal, also can help.
然後，再試着去面對，處理導致你惱火的事情。如果來自學校或家庭的壓力在不斷增加，那麼試着和父母或者其他成年人談談。學會何時及怎麼使自己能夠冷靜下來對於正在發怒的人來說非常有用。也可以通過一些有益的途徑來排解那些消極的情緒，比如鍛鍊，寫寫日記，都不錯。If you feel like you're angry a lot of the time or are having trouble controlling your anger, talk to a doctor or counselor.
如果你覺得自己大多數時間都處於發怒的狀態中或者在控制情緒方面有困難，那麼可以和醫生或者心理顧問多交流下。
