Alice W	When I got emotional as a teenager, I used to cry and hurt myself. But then I started keeping diaries. I wrote all my feelings down and let out my anger. I have nearly 20 books filled now, and you can tell how angry I was by how scrawled the writing is, but when I read what I was angry about, it all seems so silly now. It was a safe, harmless way to channel my feelings, and eventually this turned to inspiration. I'm studying art and creative writing at university now, because I managed to turn my anger into creativity :) You could try this too! That's my suggestion anyway. Just give it a go ^-^ Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
