 EFFECTS OF ANGER
G6 Narrative

Anger is often viewed as harmful. It does not only affect the person
feeling this anger but those around him or her. As these feelings get
stronger, changes occur in our body. Our faces turn red and carry a frown.
Our teeth are clenched, and our hands are closed tight. Our breathing
becomes heavy, and this makes our heartbeat faster. Our shoulder and
neck muscles become stiff, and our blood pressure begins to rise. All
these things happen because our body is preparing for something. It is
preparing for action. However, this action does not have to be harmful.

People are often guilty about feeling angry. But anger can be viewed
positively. Feelings of anger tell you that something is not right and that
something needs to change. The challenge lies in making sure that actions
resulting from anger will help rather than harm. Expressing our feelings
can help others understand the source of our anger rather than fear its
consequences.
