...It's not like that. Not entirely, anyway.
Being angry in a place like this is a given. But not channeling it into something productive only wastes your own energy and makes the situation that much harder for the people around you.
I'm not going to apologize for my anger, because what I care about doesn't deserve an apology for something like that. But I can still have regrets for how I decided to react. Given that I keep telling some of the kids around here to be careful with their temper, I wouldn't be leading a very good example.

Why bother controlling your temper? It's not yet trial. You don't have to keep it together if you don't want to.
As long as you're not hurting yourself too much, or the people around you, why can't you hit things and act out? I don't think there's any need to limit yourself on what you're allowed to feel.
