What should I say: "I think it is worse or worst?"

Try,
A. I think the worst thing you could do is shout at children.
=> 'the worst' is a superlative form and it comes before the noun it modifies.
B. Shouting at children just makes the situation worse.
=> 'worse' is an a simple adjective and comes after the noun it modifies.
Examples
My toothache is
worse.
The situation is
worse.
This is
the worst toothache I've had.
This is
the worst situation in the word.
