Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness .
Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.
If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.
Accept it
Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
Stop making excuses for it
You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.

Social media（媒体）is a big part of most people's lives． There are social apps and sites like WeChat and Sina Weibo， as well as video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou． How do you behave when you use these apps？
Recently researchers at the University of Sussex，UK， studied social media users ranging from 10
to 15 years old． They found that they can be divided into four personality types．
Geeks（极客）
Geeks are active social media users，but they find it much more difficult to deal with the life in the real world． Most of them are boys who like playing computer games and making music and videos． They often post creative works online， using fake（假的） names． In fact， they should avoid spending too much time on the Internet．
Internet celebrities
Internet celebrities like sharing as well ， but they are much more visible （看得见的） than geeks． They might become well﹣known for their singing or dancing． But many of them， especially teenagers ，share almost every side of their lives in order to own more fans． Being a teenage Internet celebrity can sometimes cause problems in the real world．
Lurkers（潜伏者）
The first two groups are lucky to find a place to show their talent． But most teenagers fall into the third type﹣﹣﹣﹣ "lurkers"，or people who are neither too active nor visible．This group prefers WeChat over Sina Weibo， as WeChat has private groups． They can't express themselves well but at least they make sure to protect their personal information．
Victims（受害者）
Victims don't have enough knowledge to keep themselves safe online Their personal information can be made public and cause problems for them． To avoid being a victim， you should check your personal settings on social media．"Friends only" is a good choice for your posts． Don't share your personal information．
