I get mad and throw a fit if I'm told to do a favor for someone

Your aggressive behaviour is likely from your father through genetics, and if you observed his aggressiveness in anyway growing up you were, in a sense, “taught” to behave that way.. even if you don’t fully remember everything. The fact you are a teenager does play a part of it as well.

The fact you are able to recognize your aggressiveness is great. But it can be hard to manage this completely on your own. If possible, I would suggest seeing a therapist to help you in this situation — discussing your anger, triggers, past/current trauma, coping mechanisms, etc. Even if it’s just your school guidance counsellor or school therapist (if you have that). Otherwise, just try to recognize your triggers and use coping mechanisms that work best for you!
