Step 1: Develop your communication skills when around people.
Try to speak more calmly instead of being full of aggression.
When in conversations, wait for people to finish rather than shouting to get your point across. -
Step 2: Think of an alternative way to speak to people in difficult situations.
For instance, assume that you had an annoying little brother who was just joking around, trying to get on your nerves.
Instead of taking matters into your own hands and shouting abuse at him, you could speak calmly, leave him to it, move away and you will not be blamed and the person causing the problem will get bored and give up. , If, for example, somebody asks a question and you find it so obvious, do not belittle them or expect them to know because they are only asking an innocent question and do not deserve to be subjected to your derision.
You will not gain anything and, as a matter of fact, you will lose friends and people close to you and you will be disliked. , Do not speak to formal people such as teachers, headteachers or even parents in the same way you speak to friends.
You may speak to your friends in slang, with attitude and with swearwords, though you can still honour your parent/s enough to be polite and can respect teachers who take out time to teach you! , Take responsibility for your actions.
