Answers:
I don't know!.
You might consider me one of those people but I usually keep my emotions and problems to myself not venting them anywhere!. And sometimes its hard to tell if its just hormones or if they are real problems!.

I think its cause people want to talk to someone!. Some do want attention and others are really sad!. You can't assume everyone doesn't have problems!. But I do agree, I roll my eyes and continue on if its just about true love and a boyfriend/girlfriend breaking up with them even though they are the ones that cheated yada yada yada!. and you know i mean the normal everyday cases!.

and its okay, you can vent!. We all need to do it sometime!.
Im one of your contacts so you can contact me [ha ha!. email lol] if you ever just want to vent sometime!. Just extending my arm/hand!.

Its a hard stage to go through for most teens!.
Childhood is a care-free time then you grow up and responsibility and problems come along and you don't know how to deal with it because you've never had to!.

Im 17 and since i was 12 i always thought something was wrong with me!.
It turns out i was diagnosed with clinical depression but even now things are better than they used to be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know exactly what you mean! And i agree, I think teenagers just lose their brain, except I shouldn't be talking I'm 13!.Either way, all those teenagers who think there is something wrong with them really just want attention, it's kind of sad!. I've always hated attention and I hope I stay that way and don't lose my brain!
Sorry about the trouble you went through to get your diagnosis, I don't really know too much about it, but I wish you the best of luck :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, as I'm sure you are aware the teenage years are challenging--physically and emotionally!. But teens are also products of their environment--just look at our (American) society over half of the population is on some type of antidepressant or other med!. Teens are mimicking the majority of society!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that the children of today know too much and are experiencing trials and tribulations making them desperate!. I think every ones problem is bad enough for them so if some ones fish died and they was very very upset, then this is a problem and a trial to them no matter how trivial it may seem to others!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Have you ever considered that a large portion of these troubled 11-15 year olds seek (THEIR ONLY) guidance on Yahoo answers!. They may have no-one to talk to becaause of their wretched or plain unlucky sit-uuu-ationnns! Huh huh huh !?!
It's just a thought, and a reasonable one at that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its alright to vent, teens and preteens are just really dramatic its their nature although i am 15, I am dramatic but not like that, i actually have anxiety and I'm mildly depressed but i understand where you are coming from because i hate it too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

calm the f*ck down!. not all of us are overreacting!. some of us, like myself, actually have real problems!. i've been diagnosed with chronic depression and anxiety!.!.!.u wouldn't believe the sh*t i've seen in my short life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it's pretty rude to trivialize other peoples' problems!. No one gets a prize for being the sickest or the worst off, you know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They are teenagers and think they know eveyrthing!. They'll grow out of it!.You were probably like that too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Puberty does that to people!. Thank God I never have to go through that again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hahahahahaahahhaWww@Answer-Health@Com

wow!.!.!.!.



just ignore them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was waiting for someone to write about this!. I see where you are coming from and I am with you 100%!. I just want to share with you guys that when I was a teen I used to think I was bipolar, schizo, and other things!. The only difference between my generation and theirs is they have a computer to vent!. I just had books at my library!. I guess I didn't think I necessarily had all those mental disorders, but I was really interested in learning about them!. And so as it is as soon as I came to the age of 23 I actually came down with one!. So now I don't find mental illness interesting anymore!. And the only reason I read or ask questions now is to try to beat it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have always wondered that myself!. When I was growing up I was suffering from anxiety but I didn't know what it was and I had OCD and didn't know what it was!. I wasn't diagnosed until I was like 30 or something!. When I was 7 or 8 I had no desire to try to find out what was wrong because I just felt what I felt!. There was no diagnosing!. I think mental health issues have come to the forefront in society today!. Doctors know more and now the Internet, everyone is thinking something is wrong with them!. Young people already have to deal with labels like jock and nerd now we have an epidemic of kids labeling each other bi-polar and schizophrenic!. What's the world coming too!? Sometime too much information can be a bad thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah I know what you mean, it is annoying!. It didn't take me as long to get diagnosed, but I finally got diagnosed took three different doctors are working together but I finally got diagnosed in 08 and I have been dealing with this since august of 06!. Four different types of medication and three inpatient hospital stays to finally get schizoaffecitve disorder!. So I know what you mean!. I wish that people would realize that it is okay to feel emotions like happy and sad, and angry!.!.!.!.that doesnt mean that you need medication!. I wish that PCP's would stop prescribing anti-depressants for everything and send these folks to a real Psychiatrist who actually specializes in the field!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you need to calm down!.!.!.I'M SENSITIVE TO PEOPLE VENTING! NOW I'M GONNA GET AN ULCER!Www@Answer-Health@Com
