At your age, a lot of teens have troubles communicating exactly what it is they feel. Rest assured that your situation is very normal, and there are plenty of people today (even adults) who don't fully understand why they feel the way they do.

Often times we bottle away our frustrations hoping that they will subside or go away--which is never the case. If you never truly deal with something troubling you, it *will* come back again. Bottle enough angst away and eventually you're going to pop. I suspect this is what you do, but only you can determine this.

Teenage years are often the most difficult as it is a radical transition in life; from child to adult. I compare it to a bridge--and in life there are many. We all pass through stages that get us to where we are now, to where we ought to be... try to make this a learning experience. Do some introspection and really identify what it is that bothers you and be aware of it.

You'd be amazed at how much a difference that will make. Simply being cognizant of your actions will help you shy away from those outbursts you've described.

More importantly, don't be hard on yourself. Give yourself a break every once in a while, because if you beat yourself up about it constantly you will end up just hurting yourself more.

If, however, you really do think you may be suffering from depression, I recommend that you maybe take a Depression Test (http://depression.about.com/cs/diagnosis/l/bldepscreenquiz.htm), or better seek some help with a counselor of some sort. Keep in mind, I got a 5 out of 10, and I'm clinically sound... it is by no means a substitute for the real thing.

thank you :)

I'm a random eccentric with an excellent ear. I tend to appeal to common sense and logic, but I know a good knee slapper when I see one.

I love helping anyone and everyone, no matter what it may be. I consider myself a doorman...

Any doors I can open for you?
