i don't know what to do anymore. pleasehelp!

to start off. i'm 13 years old. and i found this site through a search on google,  " What can I do when I'm angry to calm myself down? ". but anyway. i really feel that i have some major anger issues.

i get angry about the smallest things. i feel like my family are getting sick of me because of my anger. i live with my mother and grandparents. i am mostly home with my grandma and therefore we have the most issues between each other. she is always nagging me! she'll repeat herself over and over and i can't help but get angry! she also calls me stupid little names like bunny and sweetheart and that just really gets me angry. do you have any advice on what i can do to not get so angry with her??

my family also tells me i have a tone when i speak to them. sometimes if someone tells me something i don't want to hear like "go feed the cat or go do this" i'll say okay with a bit of an attitude because i think thats just how i am. and i get grounded for it.     i really hate it when i don't have a tone and my mother will say i have one! and then i get REALLY angry and start yelling.  do you maybe have any suggestions about what i can do to maybe not have a tone or get upset so easily when i'm told to do something??

i really do not know what to do anymore. i feel that my family is falling apart because of me, so if you can help in any way please do. i just dont want my anger to be the reason my family falls apart :[

Re: i don't know what to do anymore. pleasehelp!

It sounds like you might want to try being more assertive than aggressive. If something someone says or does is bugging you, you can say a couple of sentences to them, like
"When you ...(insert problem)....
it makes me feel ....(insert how their speech/action affects you)...
I would appreciate it if you ....(insert proposed solution)...."
but do this in a calm manner. It shows you understand the situation, and lets others know your feelings so hopefully they will respect those feelings.
Hope this helps.
