omg forget about poverty, disease and war, this is the TRUE meaning of catastrophe
Hey, I do care about all that. I'm pretty much a teen human rights activist and I am constantly organising and raising money towards different causes, and I'm very involved in my community.

Anger coping strategies
Anger is a normal human emotion, and can range from mild irritation to an intense rage or fury.

Triggers and Early Warning Signs

One of the first steps in managing your anger is to identify what types of situations usually trigger your anger. Make a list of the things which usually set you off, for example:
  • being cut off in traffic
  • running late for an appointment
  • other people running late
  • your son/daughter leaving their schoolbag in the hall
  • your partner not putting away the dishes
  • a colleague falling behind on a project
  • slow walkers
  • perfectionists
  • melodramatics
I detect anger :(

in what degree
99.55 to be precise.
If I want to do an Arts/Law degree. Media/Communications, maybe political science and international relations...and learn a language on the side so I can do my last year overseas.

Out of curiosity, what school do you two self-proclaimed "perfectionists" attend?

sorry but if you struggle with year 11/12 subjects, uni is not for you (unless you want to do arts)

hahaha get ready to be disappointed.

or have no life in the process.
You know what? Thanks for that comment, seriously.
I'm going to work my head off so I can come back in a year's time and say:
"Tommyshitkins, I got 99.55."

You do realise that getting high nineties across the board at uni is absolutely nothing like getting high nineties across the board at high school- there is zero comparison. As tommykins said, if you are getting those kinds of marks at uni, you are doing nothing else.

99.95 is not worth risking your social life. There are so many more important things out there.
Your teenagers, go have some fucking fun.
