Why am I so touchy and mad?


Question:
I'm 13 years old and I know I have a problem. Everytime my parents tell me to do something I get mad for no reason or overreact. It's really annoying and I want to stop it but it's almost like a habit now. Sometimes I also feel stressed like I have a million things on my mind and I don't want to tell anyone. I mean, as a teenager, I have a lot to cope with that my parents don't know about like friends, enemies, the popular kids, and just people in general. I can't make myself write in a journal because I get so scared that someone will find it and then think bad about me for venting my anger. I don't know what to do and I want help. Please give me some answer. Oh, and by the way, don't say my period because I'm like this all the time no matter what.

Answers:
Because you are 13. Your hormones are doing odd things...kinda going on a roller coaster ride and that makes you have mood swings.

You really should talk to your mom , if for no other reason than to let her know you don't actually hate her and that you just feel like things are spinning out of control right now.
The reason i say that is because my daughter went through the same thing and I actually thought I had hurt her in some way. When she told me what was going on I understood and relaxed some things on her.

Moms can be huge pains in the butt but we were once your age and know what it feels like.We were not born moms... we had to endure the teenage years just like you are. Yes...we understand the problems and stress that goes along with friends, enemies, the popular kids, and just people in general.


If it is too much to deal with ask your mom to take you to see your pedatrition and talk to the doctor about what you are feeling.
You may be bi-polar.You need to see someone and be tested,to do this you need mom or dad's permission because you are a minor .Talk to your parent's and tell them you want help.
I'm so sorry! But yea I know how you are feeling. I am 16 now and I get what you mean about what parents don't understand- when you are a teenager things can get pretty stressful. It sounds like the reason you are getting so mad is because you have a lot on your mind and you are stressed, so when someone asks you to do something, you snap- I kinda have a tendency to do the same thing and my mom does it too. I think the best thing to do is to talk to your parents about this. They can help you get through it. My second suggestion is to see a councelor if it is really bad. They can help you deal with your feelings and stress. Another thing you can try is doing activities that help you relax- like listening to music, taking a bath, or doing yoga- that is what I do when I'm really stressed. Another thing I do is when I have a lot on my mind, I just try to calm down and then give myself like a 20 minute break from the stress. Then after 20 minutes I will sit down and try to resolve what is stressing me out. And writing in a journal is a great idea! It shouldn't matter if someone will find it or not, plenty of people write in journals (I do) and it helps you cope with things so if someone finds it and reads it, it is no big deal. So I would try it and maybe hide it in a place you know no one else will look if that helps. I hope this answer helps and I hope everything works out 4 you! =)
Well it's hard to separate out what part of this is being 13 and what part might be something else. Talk to your parents about how your feeling, I'm betting they will remember feeling the same way when they were somewhere around your age. No, it's not your period. What it is, is in part, your body adjusting to the surge of hormone's it's getting.
Another part is the fact that you are right in the middle of being a child and an adult. When your parents tell you to do something the part of you that wants to be independent and make your on rules and decisions tends to go through the roof. On the other hand at times you need the security of being a child.
Now on top of that are all the stresses you mentioned and they ones you were afraid to mention. (Believe me your parents had the same things to cope with. Just in a different time) These feeling and stresses are pretty normal, but that doesn't mean they aren't problems. See if you can find a school counselor, an adult you can trust or ask to go to counseling so you have someone to discuss these concerns with and to help you develop skills to deal with these stresses
^It could be your hormones, you are at an age where everything in your body and mind are changing. You are becoming a young woman, your period is only part of it.

It's normal for the most part, or maybe somethings bothering you and instead of talking about it you lash out..
