Feelings of anger and isolation in two young men set apart from their high school classmates are normal. The revengeful killing in Littleton, Colorado, is not a normal response. Anger management programs help individuals find a healthy outlet for their feelings. Again, Beginning Experience offers a teenager tools to deal with the pain of divorce and other family crises. The program does not offer an immediate solution.
Support is actually a process.
Beginning Experience helps teens find other young people who have similar experiences and feelings. This becomes the seed of a support group, new-found friends who later care for one another when life gets difficult. Your discussion group may find it helpful to talk about how important it is to share feelings with someone who also is living through the same difficulties. Look for a Beginning Experience team near you. If you need help, you can reach out to them.
