    When you were a kid, how did you let your parents know something was absolutely unacceptable, in your mind? Apparently, my sister would scream at the top of her lungs, shut herself in her room, and take everything out of the drawers and closet and throw it on the floor.

    I on the other hand, went outside and quietly laid in the middle of the neighborhood road in protest.

    What did you do?

    I was the 'tantrum thrower' as a small child. Then when I hit my teenage years, I became the 'door slammer'. Nowadays, I try to just remove myself from the situation, but I admit that I still have a firey temper, which WILL come out if someone pushes me too far.

    When I was little, I was definitely a pouter, but I guess now I just keep my distance from them until I get over it.

    I didn't. Tantrums got me sent to the corner or a spanking.

    Slam doors or openly argue with my parents. I got spanked a lot. Somehow even though it was traumatic at the time, it is kind of a fetish now. :wink:

    As a young child (maybe 4-8ish) I dug my nails into my face until I bled.

    I also self-harmed as a teenager, so I guess I had an older version of those "tantrums". I have stopped all of that but when I am stressed I catch myself pushing my pen into my fingertips until it hurts. Apparently the pain helps me cope...

    I just used to walk away from anything and go and run around outside till I was all sweaty. It helped me calm down.

    My brother, when he was small, used to be a real fusspot, and throw his food around when he was angry. My dad then told me that whenever I wanted to throw a tantrum, I should write "TANTRUM" on a sheet of paper and screw it into a ball and throw it around, and that was the real way to throw a tantrum. Still makes me laugh :grin:

    I used to pout. I would cross my arms, stick out my bottom lip and wait until my parents allowed me to have my way.

    Apparently when I was a little kid I saw another kid throw a tantrum. I tried it myself, but apparently it was obvious my heart wasn't in it. My mom actually started laughing. Never tried it again.
