Ever find yourself in a tough situation that you think you can't handle? Here are FIVE THINGS I do to help myself in those situations:

1. I go to my room and listen to music and read.

2. If I am at school, I will ask to go to the bathroom and calm myself down.

3. I will think about positive situations or positive outcomes of the situation.

4. Maintain a straight face and try not to lash out without thinking about what I am going to say.

5. If I am at home, I will sit down and think about it, no matter how excruciating.
