When I was in my teens, I used to write a diary. In the diary, I wrote my pent-up emotions and about things that I could not share with anyone. Writing a diary helped me in two ways, one, I developed writing skills, and two, I was able to channel my emotions.
Did you ever write your pent-up emotions?

I did not write a diary but I had a technique to help myself when I was in a bad mood, angry, or frustrated. I used to write down what made me angry or frustrated, and then tore the paper. This used to make me feel good afterward.

When emotions pile up, you need to let them out otherwise you will be left smoldering. However, a bad mood is never an excuse to use cruelness. Never. Mood passes, but cruel words wound the soul.

Unfortunately, I barely used a diary when I was a teenager. I couldn't just get into writing everything that's going on in my life in a diary. My brother on the other hand did this very often. More than 70% of what happened to him was written down. He's got a plan to write a book.
