I have spoken to my peers about their triggers and responses. For example Tia, her triggers were problems with her boyfriend, i told her that instead of taking it out on him that you should calm the situation down and learn that you both need to communicate properly and clearly about you issues. YOUR FEELINGS SHOULD NOT CAUSE ARGUMENTS
