Hello, dear child!
Hi, I'm Yi Ming, your heart exploration coach!
I'm here for you. I understand your distress, and I'm very willing to share what I know with you. My goal is to comfort and inspire you.
1. It's so important to understand the characteristics of our adolescence.
You're a high school student going through puberty, which can be a tough time.
It's totally normal to feel like you can't control yourself when you don't want to argue with your family and shout.
This is all down to the way we grow and develop.
It's totally normal to feel depressed and angry because of changes in hormone levels, brain development, and psychological stress.
This is something we often find difficult, especially with our family members.
Just picture this: you're having a chat with your teacher. It's a lot easier to keep your cool when you're chatting to someone you know, isn't it?
Our family members are there for us and will never abandon us.
We all get irritable sometimes, and it can be hard to pinpoint why we're feeling angry. It's easy to take it out on our loved ones when we're feeling this way.
This is something that many adolescents and their parents struggle with.
It's totally normal for adolescents to have limited ability to control their emotions.
When we realize that we didn't mean to argue and yell, there are some simple things we can do to help us feel better when our emotions calm down.
2. Stay in touch with your family members!
It's so important to remember that communicating with our family members is something we should do when we're feeling calm and collected, not when we're feeling emotional.
It would be great if we could communicate more often!
We're here for you, just as you've come to us for help now. If you feel embarrassed about explaining things to your mother face-to-face, you can also write a letter or use WeChat.
If you feel like you're losing control of your emotions, don't be afraid to ask your mother and grandparents to be more patient with you. We all say things without thinking sometimes, and that's okay!
We may not have found the right outlet for our own adolescent worries, academic pressures, and anxieties, so we ask them for help, at least so that they don't give us such negative feedback. We're all in this together!
It's so easy to feel like the whole family is blaming you for what happened to your grandfather. It's natural to feel full of self-blame in this situation.
Oh, goodness! This is the last thing you want, I'm sure.
It's so important to remember that how to successfully navigate through puberty requires the joint efforts of the whole family.
We all get angry sometimes, and it's totally normal to feel resentment towards our family members. It's just important to remember to express those feelings in a constructive way.
We all get impatient sometimes, and it can be hard to keep our emotions in check when we're feeling particularly stressed. It's only natural!
It's so important to express your emotions in a timely manner. It really can make a big difference!
Through this kind of communication, family members will understand more and know that you can't control your emotions. They'll have more understanding, rather than blame, which is more conducive to getting through this period.
And finally, some other tips!
It's true that during adolescence, our ability to control our emotions is limited. But there are good reasons for this!
On a brighter note, there are still a few simple ways we can help ourselves feel better.
For instance, take a deep breath and slow down for a few seconds.
It's so important to be aware of your emotions.
We all get angry sometimes. It's okay to feel frustrated or annoyed. But whenever you feel like shouting, just take a moment to pause and think.
Take a deep breath, my friend.
Psychologists have a lovely way of comparing our emotions to an elephant, and our rationality to the person riding the elephant.
We all have those days when we feel like the elephant rider, weak and short, lacking in strength.
That's why it can sometimes feel tricky to control our emotions.
All we need to do is be aware of our emotions, rather than trying to control them. Finding a more suitable approach will do the trick!
For example, some kids in their teens really benefit from taking part in more sports, which is great for helping them to regulate their emotions.
It would be really great for you if you could chat with your family and friends more often.
I know it can be tough, but listening to soothing music can really help.
If chatting with family members is too much for you in normal times, when you feel emotional, don't worry! Just go out of the house, temporarily leave the environment that triggers conflicts, or just stay alone for a while.
Dear child, I know it's not easy for you, my dear.
It's so important to understand yourself, and to find a way of coping that works for you as you navigate your way through adolescence.
You might also want to think about finding a professional to see if there's a better way.
I wish you all the best!
I love you, and I love the world too!

I understand how tough it can be to feel out of control. Maybe starting with small steps, like taking a moment to breathe before reacting, could help manage those emotions better.
It sounds really challenging what you're going through. Have you thought about talking to a counselor? They might offer some guidance on handling these intense feelings.
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this. It might help to write down your thoughts when you feel overwhelmed instead of shouting. This can prevent hurting others' feelings.
You're not alone in feeling this way during adolescence. Apologizing to your family for the hurtful things and promising to work on yourself could be a good start.
I can see you're feeling a lot right now. Practicing mindfulness or meditation might give you tools to stay calm and present, reducing arguments at home.
