Serial Sulker
Whispering whinger
Loud 'n proud
Rather than speaking the truth when
you’ve had a fight, you avoid any confrontation. So, instead you bottle it
all up and sulk, making yourself even
more upset! You’d be better off getting
everything out into the open. Take time
out to cool off, then explain why you’re
angry. That way, you can work through
it constructively and maybe even get
the outcome you want!
You’re not one to fight your own
battles, are you? When you fall out with
someone, you have no problem with
dragging other people into it or talking
behind the back of whoever’s upset
you. It’s okay to ask a mate for advice
if it’s a serious issue but don’t expect
anyone else to fix your feud or to take
sides. Instead, talk directly to the
other person involved.
If you’re annoyed, you’ll make the
biggest scene possible! You can’t
resist it ‘cause it often means you
get your own way. It makes you
look crazy and immature as well and
won’t win you any respect. Calm
down and resist the urge to throw
a wobbly. You can still get your
argument across without shouting
– if you lose your temper, you lose.

TANTRUM
THROWERS
Elton John
Sir Elton John’s 1996 documentary, Elton John:
Tantrums & Tiaras, shows his flashy costumes
and his total hissy fit behaviour. He was caught
declaring he’d never return to the south of
France after a female fan greeted him while
he played tennis. The horror! He is known
for throwing things at staff and once
demanded someone ‘do something’
about a strong wind while in Germany.
Sean Penn
Sean is famous for losing his
temper with photographers and
spitting at cameras. He has a
long history with paparazziinvolved scuffles.
Russell Crowe
The ‘Gladiator’ has
a fiery temper and
is well known for
his bar brawls.
Naomi Campbell
The supermodel has been charged
with ‘luggage rage’ at London’s
Heathrow Airport, where she allegedly
assaulted two police officers.
Banned from British Airways, she has
also been described by her staff as
having ‘violent’ moodswings. Naomi is
known for throwing things!
