How NOT TO GET MAD
Lesson 12 - How Not to Get Mad
What makes you angry? Many things make you angry. You may get angry when something doesn't go your way. Maybe you get mad at yourself when you don't understand your homework or you lose a game. Kids who tease you or call you names can make you angry. Also your parents may make you angry if you think one of their rules is unfair
What happens when you are angry? You start to scream at people around you, even people you like or love. You might lose your temper and break something or hurt someone. Anger destroys friendships. It also causes you to get bad karma and bad health too.
What to do if I get angry? Don't lose control if you get angry. Instead of getting mad when your sister takes your favorite toy, kindly ask her to share it with you.
