is this generally normal for a 15 year old male, i frequently become very agressive, not towards others but just very pis*sed off. Normal??

Answer 1

I'm glad you're expressing these thought on line - it shows that somewhere in your head you know something is wrong and your thoughts are NOT normal.

In fact those are traits of the most prolific serial killers. You're at the age when they begin to act on their fantasies - this includes setting fires and killing small animals.

Answer 2

I don't think that is normal at all. Sure, people get upset at times and you are 15 years old. You are growing up and things can be confusing. But the urge to blow things up or set things on fire--that is a little scary to me. I would say you need to talk out those feelings with someone. Don't let that stuff stay inside because it can lead to other things that are not good.

Answer 3

Yes.
And venting in a controlled release gives you the sense of power you need, and doing it on a very small scale can be very satisfying.
For example, as an incredibly sensitive,depressed and infuriated teen, I'd use models or miniature battle field with plastic army men and a killer alien ship I made from scraps of broken electronics, use fireworks and have my own war of the worlds blast! An occasional burn gave me respect of power & some humility.
I wish I videotaped the battleship I sank - it was awesome!

I am a man at peace now.

Answer 4

It is normal to feel agressive, because of your hormons. But I think the feelings you have are violent - there is a difference. Perhaps too violent, and I believe this has to do with watching too much violence on TV and video games. You just need to know this is wrong and control it (I mean not do anything like that). If you have violent behaviour and not just thoughts, seek expert help. There is nothing to be ashamed of, before it's too late and you hurt someone or your life.

Answer 5

While it is normal for males moving through pubescence to have a lot of uncertainty, frustrations, and resentment toward the world that is telling them what to do at every turn: On top of all the social expectations & pressures, unchecked anger & aggression that has been given no "audience" or proper avenues for 'release,' may help to distabilize a developing psyche and lead to inordinate and unbalanced perspectives on reality. Your "worldview" aside, you may want to be honest enough to assess your feelings toward your immediate family and just how "connected" you are with your nuclear family members... can you talk to them about your feelings? Do you consider your family to be dysfunctional or basically functional? If you do not have a proper "sounding board" then PLEASE, seek out one of you school counselors! There is absolutely no shame in seeking out professional counsel; in fact, it shows "strength of character," because to do so you had to do some baseline "introspection."
There is no high ranking official or corporate CEO that does not surround themselves with reliablle counsel. Consider that. Don't minimize destructive impulses fron within yourself, especially if they are chronic and increasing in frequency... deep inside yourself, you know from where your anger originates!

It's sounds like you need to talk to your parents about this and if they don't take you seriously then go to the emergency room and explain what you just shared with us at Yahoo and they will provide you with the services you need. Trust me, you don't want to blow up anything or set anything on fire because you'll be locked away for a very long time.

Answer 7

It is normal to be angry on occasion, but not to want to blow things up. I suggest you find ways to release your emotions more positively. ex. hang out with friends, listen to music, exercise, join clubs at school. It's probably a good idea for you to speak with your parents or any adult you trust at school about your feelings. You might need professional help or just a way to deal with your feelings better. I recommend that you try the things I suggest and if that doesn't help within a week or two, please speak to someone very soon. Good luck.

Answer 8

It is normal for a teenager to go through angst as they rebel from what they have been taught in order to gain an independent sense of self. It is only a problem if you act on these emotions. If you find yourself leaning towards negative action seek outside help!

Answer 9

Looks like you've got a future in Pyrotechtonics and professional wrestling!

Answer 10

Yes this is normal. I guess video games have made me feel sometimes that life is really slow and It has made me think that we need more action in this world.
