I play voilent computer games to vent it all out its better online because you know your beating a human...or nuclear pig.

I used to use a stress toy, but it kind of broke when I bit it in half. I usually just play PC games, which usually calm me down. That, or listen to heavy metal.

Find some person who lets you take your anger out on them, then after you're done apologise and it is all good, but that person will expect the same back.

Shoot things.
(With an air rifle of course, not a 9mm or something)

Shooting things is far too mild.

The best thing to do is stand yourself in the mirror, and go mental - pull some psychotic, cannibalistic faces, tense some muscles and have a go at yourself. Some frantic finger pointing also helps aswell.

Go. Mental.

Edit: I just did this myself, and I feel knackered.

I cut back on the stressful things I have to do. Like homework and revision. It's not a good policy come exam day though.

There are many types of stress.
There’s angry stress, which is the type that most of you are describing.
But another stress could be love, it could be a sad and sorry loss, it could be work - that you’re getting too much. That isn’t anger at all.

The best way to deal with it is listening to mellow tunes, steady throughout. Or I even find singing gets rid of a load.

Of course, if it is anger, I find a baseball bat the most effective. Or a good argument, and winning it.
