Is it normal to want to kill someone for making you angry?

I've been having anger management issues lately. I don't know if it's because of stress due to school, or if due to something else like genes or something. But i know that i've certainly changed these last few months, i've become more easily irritable but always bottled up the anger which made me assume that it's what causes me to blow up lately. Earlier today, my sister and i had a stupid argument. She was calling to me for the kitchen to help her out with something, but i had my headphones on while i was playing video games. She came into my room, angrily snatched my headphones, and broke them in half. I followed her into the kitchen, we were both yelling at eachother, and when i felt like i had enough, i grabbed the knife that was sitting on the counter but slammed it down on the table roughly instead of doing what i originally had in mind. I pushed my sister roughly into a shelf, and stormed out of the kitchen. I do feel bad for what i've done, but i feel like she shouldn't have broken my headphones in the first place. 

And that's not the only thing that happened this week. Two days ago, me and her had yet another stupid argument that i forgot what was about. Anyways, it led to me throwing a small fan at her, and a little glass trinket across the room. If my mom hadn't stopped me, i could have done worse. 

I don't know if i want to see a therapist, and i don't know if i want to talk to someone about this. I just don't know what to do. I need advice. Is this normal?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    We're all responsible for our own actions, so you're not blameless here, and it's good that you have enough insight to recognise that you were on the edge of losing control and to be worried about that.

    Having said that, I think your sister sounds like an obnoxious shit. She also sounds like she might be one of those stupid kids who enjoys pushing their sibling's buttons just to get a response. A little drama queen, in other words.

    I'm not sure if you really need therapy, but it might be helpful for you to talk to someone about what's going on at home and in your head. If you're a teen, then you're going through a lot of changes, and if you're in the middle of that, you have no perspective and it can be difficult to understand what the hell you're feeling and why you do the things you do.

      My sister has always been an annoying little bitch. She's in her early twenties, but always the one starting problems in our house. She's rude, and even my mom has been complaining about her needing to get her shit together.

      But anyways, yeah. I'll see if i can talk to someone about this. The school counselor or something. Thanks for the advice.

    Start by adding a poll.

    I'm not mad at you. You're little sister sounds like an annoying, little, spoiled brat. I think she should just leave you alone. I also think that she should be forced to pay for the cost of replacing your headphones.

      Surprisingly, she's not my little sister despite acting like one. And yeah, i calmly approached her about getting me new headphones, but she sort of ignored me. I don't think she'll pay for them, but i'd rather not be petty about it.

        So she's your older sister then?

        If it were me I would probably just stay away from her.

    I have... issues... myself. I admit to having visualized killing my own mother many times. I'm not proud of it. Not in the slightest. She thinks that because that she is the mom she can get away with the same stuff she doesn't want me to do. She's pretty full of herself, in a sense. But I always keep it in, or go off somewhere else and scream for a while. There is no excuse for murder. And I still have my life ahead of me. You do too.

    Oh your post reminds so much of myself. A month ago a fight broke out between me and my sister over some small amount of money. It started as a shouting match which became physical in the end. If others hadn't stopped me she would have landed in the emergency ward.

        I live in a third one country. Fights break out daily here, fights on roads, fights between family members etc etc. People get raped and/or killed and nobody cares. The life of a human here is cheaper than dirt.

        I have resigned myself to fighting my fights rather than running away from them. I am now out for blood of my enemies.
