Is there something wrong or is this normal for every 16 year old girl?!


Question: like it says i am 16 and i know its not close to where id be getting emotional normally but for some reason lately ive been going from big highs to huge lows where i get really sad and depressed. i havent liked a guy in a long time so i am not hurt over anything but when my friends are sad i get really down talking to them and it just goes like that kind of. and watching sad music videos and listening to slow songs make me sad. i hope i dont sound stupid i just want to know is this what every 16 year old goes through? or is something not right?

I don't think it's something to be concerned about right now. It could just be that you're a very sensitive girl and you feel empathy towards others. But if you feel that these emotions are getting in the way of you leading a normal life or you find yourself crying a lot for no reason then I would say to talk to a counselor or see a professional to make sure that you're not suffering from depression. Some form or sadness or depression is common during the teenage years. There are a lot of changes happening and feeling a normal amount of "teen angst" is common as long as it doesn't get out of hand. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

I dont think many 16 year olds go through what you are going through. I think that your hormones are just going crazy and you are just really sympathetic. I dont think this is anything to worry about unless it gets worse.

Hi,

I think this is completely normal and very very common. It may have a lot to do with hormones, but let a girl advise ya more on that, I no expert!! :) However, if you feel that it's not getting better over a long period of time it might be an idea to talk to someone about it. Either way, hope ya feel better soon...

you sound quite normal to be honest
but the highs and lows thing
unless your near your period
or something happened to make you that way
id be cautious
and heres the thing
maybe it wouldnt hurt to get someone to talk to
i mean everyone needs someone to talk to
and it couldnt hurt if they were a therapist
and thats not weird or anything trust me
im 17
and ive had a therapist for 2 years so its cool

I go through the exact same thing (extreme highs, and extreme lows), BUT I don't think it's a normal thing, you may possibly suffer from Bipolar Personality Disorder. Probably go to the doctors, unless you're like me, and find out.

its a gift if you learn how to control it because then you can then understand people to another level & if your really smart you will learn how to be able to help almost anyone get out of any type of mood

That is normal even later in life.
