Anger Management
“Anger is just anger. It isn't good. It isn't bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters. It's like
anything else. You can use it to build or to destroy. You just have to make the choice."
― Jim Butcher, White Night
Anger is a very dominant emotion that results from the reactions like:
Irritability, emotional disturbance, trust issues with loved ones, dissatisfaction or any other negative
situation in one’s life. It is normal to express anger and it can range from a little change in mood to its
extreme irritability mode.
Reasons That Leads To Anger

Anger can be experienced by any one of us and we may get angry on different things. Anger in its
balanced form is proved to be a healthy emotion, however if it’s not controlled positively it can affect
your health as well as your relationships. Now-a-days work is quite fast as well as complex. The day may
start with jam packed traffic, electricity crisis, trouble with friend, failure, bad mood or mistreatment
which can provoke your anger. When you experience anger it has a direct physiological impact on you;
your heart beat may accelerate, your blood pressure and temperature might fluctuate from its normal
level; stress hormones may be released followed by a lot of sweating.
If you kick a stone in anger, you’ll hurt your own foot.

― Korean Proverb
Individual differences does count and different people express their anger in different ways. Some react
as soon as they face a negative event and some suppress their anger and express later on.

FORMAN CHIRISTIAN COLLEGE

Lahore- Pakistan
Difficulties in Socializing
ollege life is a period of growth and change for students. The constant exposure to new experiences
produces a variety of feelings and many students face difficulties in socializing with people who are
Cpart of their new environment. At this particular stage it can be tough for many students to even follow
guidelines on making friends and meeting new people, as their social skills are underdeveloped.
Apart from these obvious challenges, there might be a number of other personal obstacles that students
may come up against while attempting to adjust to the new environment and develop new social
connections. Some of them include:
 Academic Problems: Students may feel overwhelmed by all the increased academic demands.
They may suddenly find studies to be tougher than they anticipated or come to the realization
that they do not have enough study and time management skills. This pushes many students to
spend excessive time on studies which leaves less time for socialization.
 Social Anxiety: The social landscape in the college can be very anxiety provoking for students at
times, especially during their first year. Some students are naturally more social, but most have
to make an effort in order to develop social connections. Some students prefer to dodge the
source of their anxiety by isolating themselves and removing themselves from social situations
which they believe might become a cause of embarrassment. They desist from participating in
social settings because of a fear of rejection and think of themselves as being incapable of fitting
in.
 Emotional Disturbances: Students who are faced with emotional disturbances in their lives, find
it hard to be motivated and feel interested in social activities. At times they prefer avoiding
friends and try to guard themselves from any distress provoking social situations by going into a
state of self-imposed isolation.
 Adjusting to a Bigger Community: Many students from smaller towns find it difficult to adjust if
their college is in a big sprawling city or even a larger town. The anxiety that many such students
face puts the brakes on their social progress as they prefer to limit themselves to their room
rather than venturing out and meeting new people. Cultural differences also come in the way of
socialization for many students who move to a new setting from a completely different cultural
background.
53
 Homesickness
College life generates both excitement and apprehension in students which many of them are
able to deal with. This transition takes more time for some students, those living in hostels in
particular, who are faced with homesickness that keeps them preoccupied with home focused
thoughts. Students who feel homesick might typically notice an increase in anxiety, depression,
and obsessive thoughts and may also experience minor physical ailments.
How to Overcome Difficulties in Socialization

Navigating the pressures of the college environment and coping with its many social demands can be a
tough task for many students. However, there are many ways in which students can improve their social
skills and prepare themselves for a successful transition to later phases of their life. Some strategies for
overcoming socialization problems include:
 Changing your unrealistic expectations to more realistic ones. Rather than telling yourself that
you need to have a close group friends by the end of the first week of university, you need to
understand that it takes time to make close friends.
 Try to alter you self-critical thoughts and turn them into realistic ones. For instance, rather than
being hard on yourself and saying that I was not funny enough when talking to my friends, tell
yourself that you cannot be funny all the time.
 Develop more affiliations by engaging in extracurricular activities and by joining student
organizations in the university. Use shared interests to make new friends and contacts.
 In order to overcome homesickness, do keep in contact with people you have left behind while
you adjust to the new environment and begin to get involved there.
 Try to establish a balance between studies and leisure. Do not let studies dominate your daily
routine and give yourself time to meet new people.
 Improving your time management and study skills may also help you balance your routine.
 Enhancing social skills also involves working on your nonverbal communication. Focus on your
body language. Try to assume a relaxed but alert posture. Maintain good eye contact while
conversing and don’t hesitate to smile.
 Remember that are many other students who are experiencing similar problems. Know that
you have to give yourself time to adjust.
 Make use of use of the professional help at your disposal in the university. You can always talk
to your advisor or seek counseling service.

“When you say "YES" to others make sure you aren't saying "NO" to yourself. Stay true to yourself
because an original is worth more than a copy” ― Suzi Kassem
Importance of Peers

adolescents. Peers can be positive & supportive. They support each other in developing new skills or
abilities and encourage interest in extracurricular activities, music and books. However, peers can also
have a negative impacts. They may encourage to steal, bully, cheat, use smoking, alcohol and drugs,
skip classes, treat people unfair or may involve in other risk and challenging behaviors. People always
contribute attention in peer pressure because they wanted to fit in the group of people. They wanted
to be admired by others and they always think that they may be left alone.
Caused that Contributes Peer Pressure

Peer pressure is the impact that you may feel from person or group of people to respond something
you are not willing to do. Peer pressure occurs when we have fear to be alone or left out, it comes
when we get influenced by the lifestyles and the ways of thinking of our peers. Almost everyone, from
different walks of life, must have experienced peer pressure in some way or the other at a given point

avoid circumstances in which you feel peer influenced into things you do not wanted to do.
 Be Assertive in your response. Be courageous to say “no” could be difficult for a moment but
assuredly it would be helpful in feeling comfortable to stick on your wishful behavior. Try to
explain people in a peaceful way that why you do not needed to be a part of something. This
might help you to gain confidence in yourself and to earn respect from others.

could help them to respect yours.

comfortable in your environment. Expressing yourself in the safe environment would help you
to gain more confidence and support positive atmosphere

reflect your values and support your potentials.

Presentation Skills
“All the great speaker were bad speakers at first”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson
n today’s competitive world presentation skills are tremendously needed for one to succeed
professionally. Good presentation skill can help one express his or her idea in a better and effective
Iway. The good news is that it is a learned skill and can be polished by doing some effort. You are the
center of attention for the audience and whatever gesture, movement, or even a facial expression you
come up with mirrors your personality. So one needs to be mindful about their body language and
verbal communication in order to give a compelling presentation.
Here are a few tips for polishing presentations skills and it would be great if you start working on them.
“Some valuable tips for you”
Tip No. 1 10-20-30 rule
 10-20- 30 rule is rule for a slideshow. The rule says that your slide show should not have more
than 10 slides, last no longer than 20 minutes and have no text less than 30 point font.
Tip No. 2 Be Entertaining
 The material you are going to present should be informative but needs to be delivered in an
entertaining and lively manner by incorporating a lot of examples to make it less bookish.
Tip No. 3
Slow Down
 Presenters who are already nervous, try to talk too fast which makes their presentation worse. So
one needs to consciously slow down their speech and add appropriate pauses for prominence.
Tip No. 4
15 word Summary
 It is always good to prepare an essence of your idea in fifteen words? One can try to write the idea
in a 15 word summary as it would be a good tool to convey the main premise to the audience
effectively.
58
Tip No. 5 20-20 Rule

 This rule basically emphasizes the presenter to be concise. This rule is also for the slide show and
stresses that one should have twenty slides each lasting exactly twenty seconds.
Tip No. 6 Don’t Read
 Try not to jam a lot of text on the slides and just have the main points of your presentation on it,
but always try to elaborate in your own words instead of reading from the slides.
Tip No. 6 Speeches are About Stories

 Short stories always bring charm to one’s presentation. If you think that the material is quite hard
and can drain your audiences, enlighten your points through short stories and examples.
Tip No. 7 Project Your Voice
 What is the purpose of talking if you are not audible? Audiences would knock you out soon if they
cannot hear you, so you need to be heard as we cannot rely on technology.
Tip No. 8 That’s a Good Question

 Always make sure that you appreciate the people who ask questions. Statements like “That’s a
really good question,” can also help you buy a few moments to prepare your response.
Tip No. Removing “UM” from your vocabulary

 Many people unintentionally use presentation killers like ‘um,’ ‘ah,’ or take pauses to control their
anxiety? You can replace these killers with a pause taking a short breath in and re-gather your
thoughts.
Tip No.
Practice
 Practice your speaking skills regularly in front of a mirror or someone with whom you are
comfortable. This practice will help you polish your skills and make you more confident in front of
an audience.
“With a little effort and care we can make some moments memorable for us.” We hope these tips
would be beneficial for you.”
