Using Your Words

Using Your Words We all get mad. Sometimes, we can even get very mad. Did you ever get so mad that you thought you were going to scream? Sometimes, I can get very angry at someone. It might be my little sister or my older brother, or even my dog or cat! Once, I got really mad and broke a window in the house. This was a terrible thing to do. My mom sat me down and talked to me. My dad told me that I had to use the money I got for my birthday to pay for a new window.

They explained that using words is always better than hitting or throwing. It's much better to use words to tell someone that you are angry. When you do bad things out of anger, you will always regret them. I will always remember what my parents told me that day. They taught me that breaking things in anger is never the right way to solve a problem.
