Anger is a strong feeling of annoyance, usually in response to something wrong or bad. Other words people use for anger are mad, frustrated, annoyed or furious.

There are different ways people feel anger. Usually your body will tell you when you are angry. Are you breathing faster? Is your face bright red? Do you want to break something or hit someone?

Anger can be unhelpful at times, it might make you yell or scream at those around you, even people you like or love. Sometimes when we feel angry we can become aggressive towards others. We all feel angry sometimes. Maybe you "lose your cool" or "hit the roof." Anger can even be a good thing. When children or young people are treated unfairly, anger can help them stand up for themselves. However, if you’re getting angry all the time, maybe over things that wouldn’t usually trouble you, that’s when anger can get in the way of what is important to you and have a negative impact on daily life.
