If you are a grown up? If you are really impatient? Or will it be only worse, and then you will explode, to atone for all the things you kept down?

Personally, as a matter of opinion, I don't think you can really teach yourself to hold your temper unless you really want to hold it. For me, as a Christian, I have good reason to help my temper.
Lo and behold! - the oft-repeated, now cliche phrase: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Even if you aren't a Christian, the Bible has a few good points. If you want to, you can read Galatians for some inspiration. Good stuff there if you really want help.

Does a flaring temper really accomplish anything other than venting ones anger and hurting others with words or actions, something that one cannot take back. Also, if temper is exercised in private, does that make anyone feel better. The notion that it is best to "let it all out" doesn't hold up as a way to deal with anger. Just a word of wisdom: "He that is slow to anger is abundant in discernment, but one that is impatient is exalting foolishness--Proverbs 14:29. Patience is something to work on and it can be achieved without a doubt.

When it comes to temper, sometimes counting to 100(or longer if neccesary) helps with calming oneself. Taking a walk or talking to a therapist can help as well. Regarding a worse temper-that really depends on the person involved. Everyone handles their temper differently. The best thing to do is find what works for you.

There are workshops or classes for anger management. There are also a lot of books on the subject. They give your advice how to control your temper and give examples for safe releases for pent up anger.
It's not healthy to bottle your anger up inside you. It can make you sick (ulcers etc.). A big part of anger management is how to channel the anger into something else, painting pictures seems to be a good outlet for all kind of emotions.

Yes, you can. You can take small steps- when you start to feel frustrated/ impatient/ whatever, try to first see why you feel that way, and then try to look at the problem rationally. Try to keep calm, and solve the problem at hand. Just be aware of how you feel, and do your best to learn to act and think with reason.

It's called Anger Management. There are classes for this sort of thing.
Old dogs can learn new tricks if they decide they want to change. It's the deciding to change that's the hard part.

Anger and intelligence are inversely proportional to eachother, the odds are against you if you have anger problems.
