As a teenager you are probably very familiar with frustration. As Dr. Iverson mentioned in his Youtube video back on the ﻿﻿﻿Anger Defined page, all of us experience an average of 20 frustrations per day. You can probably think of a list of frustration "triggers" that you encounter in your daily life. What kinds of triggers do you encounter most often? Are they a result of a: situation, people or external things or objects?

__YOUR TASK__:
1. Head to the discussion page and list a few of the triggers that you most often encounter in your day to day life. Don't forget to check in on others' posts as well and be sure to provide feedback from time to time. This is a group effort after all!

Knowing what makes us angry is often the first step in being better prepared to cope with day-to-day frustrations when they occur. 2. Read through some of your fellow students' posts and see if you can relate to them. If possible, suggest one appropriate strategy or anger management technique to help deal with one of their triggers. Reply to at least two other people's posts please. Remember: If people are willing to share we must always be respectful and genuine in our responses.
