one of my best friends has seireous anger isues. some times for no reason he will freak out on people. there have been several times when he has even done it to me. im doing thes because he refuses to believe that he has a problem. he is in 7th grade and it keeps getting worse. he now thretens people with rocks and other items that can be used as wepons. several times a week he will flip out. i know its not him and its the anger but he is starting to hurt people(even his friends). some of us know that sooner or later he is going to do something so bad it will git him hurt, in jail, or even killed. Its because hes my friend that im doing this. my name is logan wood and im 15 years old. please if only a little can some one help me with some ideas to help him. anthying will help i just dont know what to do any more and i dont want to hurt him the next time he freaks out thanks for any help

Hi logan
Your friend is a lucky guy to have a friend like you who cares about him!
It does sound like things are not going well for him in some way, and he could do with some help.
However, it is very difficult to help someone who doesn't see that there is any problem!
Have you got a counsellor at your school? (I'm assuming you and your friend are at the same school). Maybe you could go talk to them about it, or to a teacher whom you respect.
Apart from that, the best you can do is to let your friend know that you do care, and that if he wants to talk about anything, you will listen.
You don't have to accept being hurt, though. Don't put yourself in position where he can hurt you, and tell him that hurting you or anyone is unacceptable.
Let us know how it goes.
