I think so. I think the earliest I remember having anger issues was using it as a defense mechanism against my teachers when I actually thought that they were threatening me. (Come to think of it, I think I had instances of feeling kind of...detached, I guess, from my body during those times I felt threatened. Like it was some sort of a nightmare) I felt like a very timid, powerless kid at times, and so I guess I wanted to fight back. I think it started around fifth grade, actually. That feeling of anger, powerlessness, occasional bits of alienation. Third grade was pretty bad, but I don't think I ever felt as downright threatened. I'm still trying to manage my anger, from the minor inconveniences to the sorts of cruelties in the world I'm not sure I'll ever really understand. I just hope I can be successful.
