Okay i'm a 17 year old female and i'm a senior in high school!!
Well I kind of think i have a problem... i freak out over the littlest things! It's so horrible, like for example this morning my mom wouldn't let me drive her car somewhere where i wanted to go (mind you i have my own car anyways) and i got so pissed i started yelling at her and got all mad. I tend to do this a lot and i sometimes i get so frustrated like when she says okay this is done or something i'll start crying becuase its almost like i like to argue or i just want her to tell me i'm right or something i can't explain it. She always tells me that she thinks i have a problem and i tell her that i agree and that i kind of think i need help or something but then she just kind of blows it off. I am a really sweet girl and i'd do anything in the world for anyone but i get so mad about the tiniest things? Is there something wrong with me? and how can i talk to my mom about this so that she takes me seriously about me needing help?
Additional info, added Sunday January 9 2005, 7:14 pm: Oh and i'm sure i'll get some people jsut telling me that i'm a brat or something but really its not like that! I'm not spoiled and I would rather not be! I appreciate things its just small things get me so flustered!. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?

I got so bad that i got destructive and started puting holes in walls and just breaking things that i knew would break easy like my black lights. My parents got fed up with it and took me to a few doc's to see if it was chemical imbalance or something, Turned out i am bi-polar, They put me on some meds for awhile but then i stopped taking them because i noticed that i could work it all out on my own and didnt need to be controlled by a little pill. This might not be your problem but it is something to think about and maybe check up on.

Hope I helped!

SarBear456 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 7:24 pm: First off.. I completely understand what your trying to say. I do the same thing, and what I find helps is when you find yourself getting so mad, just take a second to think if its really worth getting this mad over. Your mom might not take you seriously because your a teenager, and a lot of teenage girls have 'attitudes' or get mad over little things. [ SarBear456's advice column | Ask SarBear456 A Question ]
