I cry WAY too much? What's wrong with me?!

Question: I cry WAY too much? What's wrong with me?

I'm 13 years old, and I cry TOO MUCH. And it's usually not when I'm watching a sad movie or reading a sad book. If someone yells at me, I start crying. If someone talks crap behind my back, I'll cry. Even the littlest things like if I get embarrassed or if someone says one hurtful comment. Also, I'm extremely shy, therefore I cry before a presentation since I'm always nervous. I'm really sensitive and have super low self-esteem. I've always been this way and can't remember a time when I didn't cry this much. I hate my life so much... and since I cry at the littlest things, it might be for stupid reasons. I don't have many friends at all since I'm shy and don't talk that much(when I do talk, everyone thinks I'm really weird and all I do is embarrass myself). I do have a few best friends, but when I tell them about my problems, they don't listen to me. Even my brother doesn't like it when I bother him with my problems. I feel like I can't talk to anyone about it... Today, he told me that I cry too much. He has never said this before...obviously I know it's true. But this is the first time my brother has told me that he thought so. Along with that, he told me that, "a lot of other people think so too." I asked him, "Who?" and he started naming a few people(I know there's more...) No surprise, but, I started crying. Another reason I've been depressed is because of jealousy. I've been envious of my friend since we met in third grade. She's pretty, smart, has talent(I don't feel like I do), has a developed body(I haven't had my period yet, which makes me feel self-conscious), etc. Also, my crush likes her along with a bunch of other boys---which makes me feel self-conscious... I DO get straight 'A's' in school, which IS something to be proud of, but I feel so average. Like there's nothing special about me. I don't think I cry because of hormones because I haven't hit puberty yet... :/ I feel like such a kid.

Hiya you are only 13 and even though you havent had your first period your hormones will be all over the place this is normal for girls your age, all girls develop differently this doesnt mean theres anything wrong with you, im 54 you may think im an old fossil but i can remember what it was like and i have a daughter now grown that had much the same problems as you, every one off us go through an awkward stage in our lives i compare it to the ugly duckling one day when all this is behind you and you have developed into a young woman you will be the beutiful swan, but the looks are not everything its whats inside that means the most i can tell you are a sensible and have a caring nature, dont worry too much concentrate on your schooling and you will have the world at your feet, beleive me a pretty young woman with a caring heart and a job that only good schooling can provide you will have boys falling at your feet,and the choice will be your,choose carefully and you will have a life that others can only dream of, yes these are only words but belive me when i say, they are wise ones, i only wish the best for you as i did for my daughter and now shes grown she would tell you the same, have a wonderful life Carol

Well at least your good typist, I can see why you get good grades. Don't worry to much about your being different, hopefully as time goes by you'll toughen up just enough to feel ok around people, but always stay sensitive, because it's not a bad thing. And don't worry about not hitting puberty yet, it will happen soon enough, same thing with the boys, you'll change over the years, as will your peers, so don't stress these years, things can change so much, you just have to keep counting the positives and understand life is just barely beginning for you, the possibilities of good are endless, even if you don't see it.

This sounds very lame, but I'm 15 and people call me a slut and whore because I'm pregnant. All my friends and family did. I felt like a nobody and have low self confidence. So I made a list and thought of 10 great things about myself. Be honest with yourself. Then look at your list. Everybody has at least 10 no matter how imperfect you think you are. And for the crying thing, make another list of things that make you cry. Cry it all out. Then crumble it up and throw it away. Don't let people bother you. Talk to a teacher. They will want to help you, not judge you.
