At 16 years old it is very common to feel like you do. Matter of fact, I'd say you're probably in better shape than most because you recognize it. Birth control pills are probably comeing into pkay as well, right now you have hormones and more hormones running through you and the behavior you're describing is pretty much what I would expect.

There's nothing wrong with being emotional, its a matter of how it affects your life. Excersize (jogging, swimming, cardio) is one thing that can help calm you down. Eating healthy is another. If you can, find time for yourself...spend 20 min to an hour by yourself doing something relaxing and enjoyable.

The fact that you can articulate what you're feeling and think of asking for advice shows that you are mentally in a very good place right now, so I'd not worry too much about it.
