My friend Piers is really angry. What do you recommend to help him calm down?

you may want to seek out an anger management group and pass along the info to your friend. your friend may also benefit from talking to a therapist - clinical social worker, clinical psychologist, etc.

You could try signing up for a martial arts class - that is GREAT for getting out excess aggression. \n\nYoga's pretty awesome, too. After a couple poses, you start feeling very balanced and calm. \n\nIf you're not into classes, you could try just plain old jogging or running. Focusing that angry energy into something non-violently physical and healthy could be a great way for you to redirect your anger.

people who don`t wanna be helped, can`t be helped...U could try talking to him...but I have a feeling he`d only get angry if U did. try to find some other subject to talk to him about, something safe, but from which U can get to this subject in a way that it seems like that`s the natural course of conversation...and depending on his reaction, U take it from there...it would help for U to offer to go with him...

plagaraize at first then put your words in where they seem suitable. you'll eventually get the hang of it or well...you'll yell and scream. if he's the one, he will get pissed, but stick around, if he ain't well, there are 3 billion people on this planet, gots to be someone else out there.

cool down - getting upset isn't good for you.  Plus, if you know it's crap, why let it upset you?  Show that you are superior and let them know "hey, what you are saying just isn't making any sense!"

The best thing you can do is keep out of it: they'll sort it out eventually. You don't have to put up with their nonsense, though, especially if it makes you unhappy, and you should let them know. Don't make a big drama out of it, or you'll be pandering to their feelings that this fight is a huge big thing and probably help spin it out even longer. Just say to them firmly "none of that crap around me, please. You two can take your arguments elsewhere or be quiet." If one of them is with you and tries to make you avoid the other one, just say "don't be stupid, just act like an adult, can't you?!" As they no doubt care about you, after a while they'll settle down. If one of your friends decides not to be friends with you any more because you won't take sides, then they're not really a true friend, and you're better off spending your time doing other things.

Try appoloigizing, and asking what you did that made him so mad at you. Were you having a bad day and something you said sounded cruel? Was HE having a bad day? Still, nothing works better than a heartfelt appoligy.

I agree with Bobounump youv'e probably caused him enough upset. And you need to be careful that getting revenge doesn't start taking over your life.

I knowm it is hard, but give him some space for right now.  He is very mad and once he calms down - hopefully he will come to terms after thinking about it.  don't pressure him in to seeing you, it might make things worse.  Good Luck!!

Tyr to understant the problem or ask him directly about the matter.\nYou do not get angry with him. Be kind to him. Try to understand him.

Stop doing stuff that makes him angry. OK that's obvious but try putting a nipple in his mouth! Only thing is he may, pretend to be, angry more!!\n\nhttp://www.total-knowledge.com/~willyblues/

You should find a gentle way to talk to her. Let her know that her attitude affects everyone around her and that she needs to get help. Maybe she does not realize she has a problem, being angry all the time is not normal. Maybe someone to break the ice is all it would take, she might get angry, but if she is angry all the time anyway it won't really matter. At least she would have to face the fact that it is hard to be around someone who is always in that state. There could be deeper issues than just anger, that is why I say she should seek help. Maybe it is not anger, could be a form of depression. If you are her friend, and this concerns you, help her.

Well, it's hard to not get angry. But being angry in such a way shows concern and caring. I mean, it depends on what he gets angry about.\n\nPS Penguins!!!

Take a pillow, put it over your face and scream as loud as you can (this helps me a lot) or write out your feelings in a journal or a letter to the person that is making you so angry or upset, then burn it. If you need someone to talk to feel free to email me. I went through a lot of things when I was a teen and may be able to help. I wish you the best and I will pray for you.

Agree with first answer..But...here is a different idea.  Have you thought about doing a really mature thing...stop this  behavior on both sides now.  Go to the person wth a sincere attitude and ask to sit down and discuss your differences without hostility?   Might be a real shocker to him/her.  I understand your desire for revenge...we all feel that way at times...but...be the BETTER person and make an effort to make peace.  Honestly, it works.  Someone did this for me a few years ago. Good Luck.

well, the fact that he yells and loses his temper is wrong.  But he also has trust issues with you and you have to find out why.  Simply try to approach him at a time when both of you are calm and say something like "Dad, sometimes i get so angry  and frustrated with you cause i feel like you don't trust me when you don't let me do things that I want to do.  What is the reason that you don't let me do things and I would appreciate you not losing your temper".  if he continues to lose his temper, continue to tell him that you don't appreciate it in the calmest manner that you possibly can.  Keep saying it and eventually, he'll get the point.  Right now, he's losing his temper because he thinks that's establishing authority.  It doesn't but he doesn't realize it.

that will be extremely hard if he is one of those genetically gifted people whom are never-ever-ever wrong. I am a very strong willed man who has "learned" to listen to the counter-point and accepted the warm feeling that happens when someone alse has a better answer. If he does start heating up smile a little giggle a little wink and smile again give him a little kiss. It will disarm his rage and confuse him and while he is scratching his head walk away know you diffused the situation. If he cares he might think about it rationally and come around
