My Attitude
Nikita Beck
April 14, 2014
ELA V
My Attitude In House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, she depicts the character Rachel as a quick tempered girl from Texas. In this assignment I was asked if I was quick tempered and sassy also. In my opinion and according to others I am sassy, but if you ask if I am quick tempered it depends on who you ask. If you ask my mother, she’ll say that I’m one of the calmest people you’ll ever meet; my stepbrother will tell you the same. Now, if you ask my nephew or some of my classmates from my old school, they’ll completely disagree. My temper depends solely on whoever I’m with and what mood I’m in. If I’m in a good mood, you can do practically anything and I wouldn’t be bothered at all. If you catch me in a bad mood or if someone has been pushing me to my limit, just a single wrong move will have me popping off and yelling at you. At times, if you pushed me too far, I wouldn’t be able to control my emotions and actions which would lead me to either tear up or become physical; in both cases I will find a way to yell at you.
Therefore, to sum it all up, my mood depends on many variables. If I’m my usual self, then I would be my usual sassy, odd self. If you’re unlucky and you try to annoy me when I’m in a bad mood, then you probably deserve what you get. However, my bad days are rare and I can usually control myself, so it’s not something you should worry about all the time.

It’s difficult to handle strong emotions, but it takes an even stronger person to learn how.…

    Aggression is a difficult behaviour to predict but also it is often hard to control. It comes in many physical, verbal and non-verbal forms. Physical aggression can appear from as little as slapping/ hitting a person to firing a gun at someone. Verbal aggression can be someone screaming or using abusive/racist language and non-verbal can include things like using offensive gestures or invading an individual’s personal space. A person may express this kind of behaviour if they are either distressed or if they want to communicate an unmet need. It is classified in 2 groups:…

    M1 Challenging behaviour

    • 412 Words
    • 2 Pages

    A person portraying aggressive behaviour may fight with people when frustrated or speak in an abusive manner. Particularly this behaviour is often shown when a person is becoming frustrated with a certain situation. For example, a boy with Aspergers may be asked to read something aloud in front of his class, however due to his syndrome he does not feel comfortable in social situations. He may feel personally victimised and under pressure which may cause him to behave aggressively towards his teacher or his peers. He may refuse to do the task or be distracted while doing the task and then become violent within the classroom after. Another example is people with ADHD, as the simplest of issues can be a blown up infuriation for them. They are naturally aggressive and impulsive which makes it difficult for them to stay calm in every day frustrations. It is their neurochemical make up that causes them to behave this way as it is different to that of people without ADHD. An example of a trigger for aggressive behaviour of an ADHD person would be if the person was concentrating on a television programme and they were interrupted by someone. They would tend to lash out or portray abusive language towards the person who interrupted them. Aggression can be triggered by frustration. If a child is unable to solve a maths problem at school then this may cause them to have a tantrum and they may fight with their peers or be violent. Also another cause/trigger of aggression could be if a child’s peer would not share a toy and this could trigger the child to behave violently and either lash out or throw objects in rejection of their peer. This could be challenging for a teacher to control, especially if that child has a condition which causes them to be particularly more frustrated than other children without conditions. Autism is a condition that often means…
