How To Control The Anger?

I am almost positive I have anger issues. It does run in my family (Dad, uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather) and my dad and uncle have both been sent to jail because of their anger. I think I have anger issues because for something so little and un-important I will hurt others around me with my words and actions. I am constantly in trouble at school (8th grade) for fights and just words I have said when I go in rage. I have had this problem as far as I can remember. One time I remember in 4th grade distinctly sitting there imagining myself throwing my teacher in the brick wall behind her. Also when I was 5 and 6 I got thrown out of a privet daycare because I would bite the children, my face would turn red when I was angry and I would just sit their and scream to. My friends are afraid of me, because when I am really mad (this happens often I hate that it happens I just cant control myself) I will hit my very close friends. I will scream at my mom to for nothing to. I wish I could control this. Do you have any tips of how I could control this?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. This is the first time I am reading that anger runs into generations. I shall make it my research next chance.

Anger should not be controlled. We have to understand the anger creating situations and stay away from it or tackle it so that it cannot create anger. There are so many occasions in your life where you are largely annoyed but never gets angry, because we know there is no use getting angry. Such circumstances are your answer. Why such a discrimination?

For example, we board a crowded bus in the busy hours, there is good amount of push and pulls. We are annoyed, but never shouts at everybody at the bus. We never misses buses because we know there shall be crowd in the bus.

Such experiences gives you practical approach about your misconception about anger. Once you understand your mistake, correction comes easily.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
