Fully revised and updated based on reader feedback! This second
edition of The Anger Workbook for Teens includes brand-new
activities to help you understand and interact with your anger, and
tips for managing it in constructive ways. Does your anger often
get you into trouble? Do you react to situations and later regret
how you behaved? Does your anger cause problems with other people?
If so, you aren't alone. Between family life, friends, social
media, and the pressures of school, there's no doubt that it's
stressful being a teenager. And while anger is a natural human
emotion, different people handle it differently. Some hold in their
anger and let it build, some lash out with hurtful words and some
resort to fighting. If you've noticed yourself beginning to take
out your frustrations on the people you love most-your parents,
brothers or sisters and friends it's time to make a change. This
second edition of The Anger Workbook for Teens includes brand-new
skills and activities based in clinically proven treatments such as
acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you deal with
negative thoughts without losing control. You'll find out what's
triggering your anger, look at the ways you react, be more aware of
your thoughts and how you interact with them, and learn skills and
techniques for managing anger without losing your cool. You'll
develop a personal anger profile and learn to notice the physical
symptoms you feel when you become enraged, then find out how to
calm those feelings and respond more sensitively to others. Once
you fully understand your anger, you'll be better prepared to deal
with your feelings in the moment. As you begin the activities in
this workbook, it's perfectly normal to feel angrier at first.
That's because you are being asked to really notice and examine the
things that make you angry. But with practice, you'll learn to
handle frustrating situations in real life and more effectively
communicate your feelings. Most importantly, you'll learn the
difference between healthy anger-the kind that can motivate you to
make positive changes-and problematic anger that leads to negative
consequences. Change isn't easy, but with the right frame of mind
and set of skills, you can do it. This book is designed to help you
understand how both your mind and body respond to anger and how you
can handle this anger in more constructive ways.
Punching Bag is the compelling true story of a high school career
defined by poverty and punctuated by outbreaks of domestic abuse.
Rex Ogle, who brilliantly mapped his experience of hunger in Free
Lunch, here describes his struggle to survive; reflects on his
complex, often paradoxical relationship with his passionate, fierce
mother; and charts the trajectory of his stepfather's anger.
Hovering over Rex's story is the talismanic presence of his unborn
baby sister. Through it all, Rex threads moments of grace and
humour that act as beacons of light in the darkness. Compulsively
readable, beautifully crafted and authentically told, Punching Bag
is a remarkable memoir about one teenager's cycle of violence,
blame and attempts to forgive his parents-and himself.
Each step in Annabelle’s 2,700-mile cross-country run brings her closer
to facing a trauma from her past in National Book Award finalist Deb
Caletti’s novel about the heart, all the ways it breaks, and its
journey to healing. Because sometimes against our will, against all
odds, we go forward.
Then…
Annabelle’s life wasn’t perfect, but it was full—full of friends,
family, love. And a boy…whose attention Annabelle found flattering and
unsettling all at once.
Until that attention intensified.
Now…
Annabelle is running. Running from the pain and the tragedy from the
past year. With only Grandpa Ed and the journal she fills with words
she can’t speak out loud, Annabelle runs from Seattle to Washington, DC
and toward a destination she doesn’t understand but is determined to
reach. With every beat of her heart, every stride of her feet,
Annabelle steps closer to healing—and the strength she discovers within
herself to let love and hope back into her life.
Annabelle’s journey is the ultimate testament to the human heart, and
how it goes on after being broken.
