FEELING ANGRY IS OKAY w Feeling angry is okay. It is not wrong to feel angry. w But hurting someone else when we are angry is wrong.

VIOLENCE IS NOT OKAY w It is not okay to hit or kick anyone when you are angry. w It is not okay to throw anything around, even onto the ground. w It is better to keep your hands to yourself so you do not hurt anyone.
