What disorder is this?
Is this some kind of personality disorder im going through?
I jump from happy to angry to sad to just about different emotion to the MAX so if i am happy, im really really happy, but if i am angered by little thing, i get so aggrevated and mad.
I act on my emotion, such as yell at people, punching walls, swearing like crazy (which i have stopped now), saying i hate someone, and then pretty soon after, I just feel so sad and bad that I had done all that and regret so much.
Is that some kind of disorder? I would love to get that checked out by some kind of therapy, but my parents thinks im lying and they are kind of in denial because I said i need some help because I am sick and tired of crazy mood swings. They basically doesnt like to think there's something wrong with me, especially mentally.

People don't go through personality disorders. Typically someone with a personality disorder isn't aware there is a problem--it's just who they are.
Let's put your parents' opinion of your behavior aside for now. That can just complicate things, and besides, you're posting this question to seek help on your own, so they don't figure into it at this moment.
I feel I need to start with a disclaimer: Of course, in these postings, the information provided is insufficient, and many assumptions must be made, so if my response isn't describing your feelings/experiences accurately, it's because I've misread you.
Teenagers struggle with a turbulent range of emotions for which nothing can prepare you. My general, topical answer to your question is that you don't have a disorder, you have normal teenage emotions, and becuase you aren't prepared to understand them, you are acting on them in the hope that someone will recognize and understand your pain, or struggle, and shed some light on it. That's why you've written this post. You're searching for an explanation of the emotions you're experiencing.
Without specific examples of the emotions you're experiencing or any "triggering events", I cannot answer your question any better.
Incidentally, you regret your behavior afterward not because you feel guilty, but because your behavior didn't get the response (reaction, explanation, INFORMATION, etc. you were trying to elicit.
I'd like to hear from you. Please consider submitting a question to me personally, and describing the emotions you feel that lead you to act on them.
Take care,
Dr. Chad

It sounds like 'Mania' to me.
Mania is the terms psychiatrists use to describe a state of elevated mood, rapid speech, grandiose thinking, and agitation that can occur in several different illnesses, but which is the hallmark of bipolar disorder, previously known as manic-depressive disorder.
Approximately one percent of the population develop bipolar disorder during their lifetime. And if you have been diagnosed with depression its important for you to know that one out of four people with depression develop a manic episode- at which that diagnosis should be changed to bipolar disorder. As with depression, bipolar disorder may be a manifestation of an imbalance in signaling between neurons, the cells in the brain.
Do a google on 'bipolar disorder' or 'manic-depressive illness'.
Goodluck with your diagnosis.

It sounds to me like bipolar disorder, but you might want to see a psychiatrist or a doctor before you come to any conclusions. Your symptoms sound exactly like my friend's, who is bipolar! Hope I Helped!

You sound bipolar.
See a counselor or therapist. Start by talking to a guidance counselor at school. They can tell your parents if its serious.
