English term or phrase: to spike so.
((In adolescence)... I used to be very angry. ... It was just a sense of out rage, now I don't even recall why... I was depressive because of my failures in high school.)
I just wanted to spike my parents at that point.

Könnte man "to spike so." hier mit "jmd. triezen, piesacken" übersetzen oder etwas in der Richtung?

Super, wie rege die Beteiligung hier war! Eigentlich wollte ich hauptsächlich wissen, ob ich überhaupt in die richtige Richtung denke, und dann kamen hier noch so viele Synoymvorschläge, für die ich mich bei allen herzlich bedanken möchte! Ich werde mich wohl wirklich fürs Provozieren entscheiden.
