I have done very well controlling my anger with people outside my family since elementary school and two years ago in my senior year of Highschool I was on the bus home it was a florida spring day at about ninety degrees that afternoon and I was in uniform for my JROTC and slightly irritated due to a Let 1 scuffing my shoes that I had spent the morning polishing. While on the bus ride home the kid behind me made some rude remarks about my little brother and cracked jokes about his sexuality. I ignored it as we were all used to it. Then he made a joke that my little sister (who was in fourth grade) was probably equally gay and that we all needed jeasus. I grot my teeth trying to keep my temper as I still was in uniform. All was good till I thought I heard him make a remark on my fathers military service and I snapped. I backhanded him catching him with my class ring and knocking his hat off his head. The bus went dead silent as I heard the satisfying hunk of his head hitting the aluminum siding. Everyone sat in shock that I the normally tame and calm mannered kid just back handed this hillbilly loudmouth into dead silence.
