Summarize this article in one sentence.
Perhaps you just walked in the door from a stressful day at school and your mom starts pestering you to clean your room. Instead of yelling at your mom or getting upset, remove yourself from the situation and give yourself a chance to calm down.  For example, you could go to your room and listen to music to help yourself relax. Avoid just walking away from your mom without saying anything because this is likely to make her angrier. Try saying something like, “Okay, I just need to put my things down first and I will come back and talk in a few minutes.” You can burn off some of your steam and negativity by writing in a daily journal. Rather than taking out your negativity on your mom, try writing down your feelings. This may help to control your attitude and will improve your relationship with your mom.  You can write down your feelings rather than say hurtful things to your mom. For example, you could write "I am so mad at my mom. She wouldn't let me hang out with my friends after school today. I think she just likes to punish me for no reason." Try burning off negative emotions through exercise. If you find that you are in a bad mood and are worried that your mom might be able to set off your temper, go for a walk or a light jog. Exercising can help you relax and will allow you control your temper.

Summary:
Remove yourself from the situation. Write in a journal. Exercise to let off steam.
