You don't have to hold your anger in at all! There are many ways of channelling anger. Creating a Blog is a good way of channelling anger through writing, providing it meets the site's Code of Conduct. Additionally, there are more physical ways of channelling anger, such as taking up a martial art like boxing for example.

When I was a lot younger, I held on to quite a lot of anger. I wouldn't necessarily say I'd take it out on other people, though sometimes it was perceived as if I were because I'd rant and vent about my problems to people a lot. In many ways it was my way of channelling my anger onto something else. It just happened to be through other people. The issue with this, is that not everyone is capable or willing to accept having anger channelled through them. Knowing who and when to channel anger to is unfortunately a learned behaviour. Each person has their own limit of what is acceptable. Here on Teen Help, given a lot of people are going through a great deal of their own troubles, they may likely be quite sensitive to the idea of being used to channel anger and so dislike it.

To overcome the times when I'd channel my anger through people, I kept a very soft ball in my room. I'd slam it at the wall as hard as I could, because the act of throwing something with such a heavy force actually helped me channel my anger and gave me a lot of relief.

The way each person channels their anger is unique to the individual. It takes time to find a suitable way of channelling anger that's effective and provides a good sense of relief. And after a while, channelling anger can actually be a good thing, providing that anger is a healthy anger.

It's 100% normal to feel angry and want to channel it somewhere, but again, how that anger is channelled is important to.
