Constantly drinking water?!
Question: I'm 13 years old. And I'm CONSTANTLY drinking water. I go through 4 bottles of water in less than 5 minutes. After that I still feel thirsty. I never feel hungry when we got out to dinner I down my lemonade in less than 2 minutes. then the waiter has to bring me more. I'll have like, 9 empty glasses in 12 minutes. It's annoying not to mention embarrassing. But I just feel more and more thirsty.
I'm frequently going to the restroom every 5 minutes.
I don't have a UTI. I've had some in the past but not for a REALLY long time.
What's wrong with me? How can I stop this?

i think that your enzymes arent functioning correctly so you should play sports or excercise and all the enzmes will get sent thru your body, but if you already excercise then limit yourself. eat and only have one or two glasses per meal. if u grew up with it then it will be tuf cuz if u have heard of bolemic people, you know they eat then throw it bak up but if they do it too long then their body will get accustomed to it and they have to eat little portions. just like u, start eating little portions and gradually progress them.
SOMETIMES DIABETES CAUSES EXTREME THIRST
Make an appointment with your doctor for diabetes testing. Excessive thirst and bathroom sound suspicious.
Ask your parents take you to the doctor for a physical. I wouldn't jump to conclusions about diabetes just yet because of your age, but stay away from lemonade and other sugary drinks till you see a doctor. Are you a big kid?
Drink water as you need it; it will never hurt you, but please do tell your parents and teacher or school nurse or counselor about your concerns and see a doctor.
Addition: I am happy that you already got checked for diabetes and you don't have it. You may be going through a growth spurt, I grew almost a foot between 12 & 13, and I had a strange time with that.
Like I said before, drinking water will never hurt you. Drink as you need and ask your mom to ask the doctor if there might be another reason for your thirst.
