In the human development class, Ms. Emily teaches us a lot of thing and I also connects it with my normal life.
One of the example I learning is the coping skills. Coping skills is skills that can help you relax and cool down your emotions and tension. Coping skill is very important because it can help you get rid of the negative situation. Such as when you really want to die or you give up all the hopes in your life, you can think about coping skills. It can help you, give you directions, and guide you back to your normal lives. That's really important and one thing that's really important for everyone is that a coping skill is different.
There are a lot of variants and you can choose your own or design your own ways of cool down. For me I listen to music and I sing them out loud. There is a playlist that I saved, I listen to it when I feel angry, sad, and unfair. Listening to them lets me calm down and gives me an opening to express my anger and to spit out all the negative things I had.
A similar thing I do is to write down my feelings. Although I really really hate writing because it makes my hand feel sore and I will get angry from it. However, there is no need to follow any format or grading so you can feel free. You can just free write. You can just write whatever comes to your mind. Bad words, curses, and dirty language all can be spit into it. After all what I do is that I'll rip the paper down, make it into a paper ball, and use my water bottle as a bat to knock it into a trash can. All of these release energy and anger. After you finish your writing you will feel relieved and you might be able to calm down. I use this in school a lot of the time and it's really helpful.
The last skill I use, which I want to share, is drawing. I do not draw any meaningful stuff. What I do is grab my pencil, put all of my force into it, and carve circles, stripes, and any messy things on a piece of waste paper. Therefore it distracts my attention and maybe just moves my anger onto the paper. That is a way to help when you want to use violence to solve the problem or just beat someone up.
Overall, Human Develop class basically teaches about emotions and relationships. There are other units that are not shared, but this is the unit I have the most impressions of and I remember most clearly.
