I don't know why, but I'm usually more moody than everyone else, I'm usually more serious. And in the world of highschool, I feel like I just don't fit in. I have high expectations of loved ones. I can't stand watching teen movies because they make me want to vomit. I think it's stupid when girls dress like their hookers. And I'm just so confused. Should I see someone to get help?

I don't think your strange but if you have issues it never hurts to talk to a professional. I do and it helps.

No you are not strange. One time my father told me that there was nothing I could ever think that someone else hasn't thought before. I found this strangely comforting, it means we are never alone. You are not moody. You are sensitive. Our world is too complex and loud. Phlorescent lighting is bad for our health. Teen movies are offensive and girls should not dress that way. They don't respect themselves, and believe me men don't respect them.
You are not strange. What you are is sensitive and acutely perceptive. This is actually a strength. This be a difficult place to be in when you are surrounded by superficialities.
There are two books that you can read that will help you capitalize on your strengths.
Are you really too sensitive? by Marcy Calhoun
The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron.
Take pride in the fact that you are an intelligent person and a deep, independent thinker. Learn to capitalize on your unique strengths and don't worry what anyone thinks. I am able to say these things to you, because these are lessons I am still trying to learn. Good luck and much love. Feel free to write me if you'd like to discuss these books. robertspeg@yahoo.com

It's depression.I too have it,but its called postatum-depression similar to depression.Depression is anxiety/moody/social disorder.You are not strange it happen's to alot of people believe it or not.Try seeking help and asking about your issue's you will soon find out that you are not alone in this world with that same feeling.Girl's are girl's even with short skirt's or long dresse's.Theyll soon grow out of that habit and mature.Some Women aged 36 just want to look a bit sexy.It's life hun you have to live with it and get over it.Your in highschool?Why are you being serious?You havent yet given birth to a child to be that serious.Your only in highschool have fun and be crazy and enjoy your life before you settle down with a partner and make a family of your own.Then you can say it's tough on you :D

No, you're not strange. You're a typical teenager complete with all of the teenage angst that comes along with it. Google "teenage angst" and see how unusual your feelings are.
Celebrate the fact that you have the courage to dress and act according to your principles.At the same time, please don't be too quick to judge others. What's right for you may not be right for them. Get to know those other girls and you'll come to understand that they're grappling with similar issues as you.
Don't be too worried that you're not normal. It can never hurt to talk to folks and compare notes. Talk to your parents or someone in your family with experience that you can trust. Talk to clergy. Talk to counselors at your school. Even talk to your friends. Just keep in mind, these people are all just fallible humans and, especially your friends, have only so much life experience and knowledge of you to draw from. Listen to them but don't take what they say as gospel. In the end, your life and your emotional well-being are your own responsibility.

You're not strange. You may be different than some people, but that's not strange. I was similar in high school, except that I do enjoy teen movies from time to time. If it would make you feel better though, go see someone, but it isn't an emergency or anything like that.

You're not strange! You sound cool. I agree with you, teen movies make me want to vomit ( bad acting, terrible wardrobe, to much sex ). Why would you need to get help? It's not that bad to have high expectations in a relationship just depending on how high your expectiations are. It's better to aim for something because if you aim for nothing you'll hit it every time!

It sounds to me like you're "all growed" up. Everyone has uniqueness in some way. Don't fret over it. High expectations are great, just remember not everyone else has reached your maturity level yet so don't judge them. It doesn't sound like you need help, extend patience and understanding instead. Set goals for yourself and don't look back, it's all part of the growth we must accomplish.

No, in fact, I think you're probably one of the most normal high school kids I've ever heard of. I used to be alot like that, until I hit about my Junior year, then I kind of just went with life. This included, but is not limited to: Not really caring about other people, making sure my grades were good, sleeping in less important classes, like history, and say whatever I want to, whenevr I want to.
But If you went to school with me, we'd probably be friends.

No way - you sound perfectly normal to me. In ten years, you will look back at High School and laugh! Teenagers are moody anyway, but they do not have to be stupid and it sounds like you aren't! Keep rocking sister!

no, not strange. it just seems that you are more mature and set higher standards for yourself. there is nothing wrong with that. the moodiness, i don't know what to tell you about that , i am often very moody. i don't see a doctor for it , cause not everyone makes me moody, just inconsiderate idiots. so i think you are ok.
