I just turned 14 (3 days ago) and ever since I have been a teenager... I have expeirenced, sneaking out of my house,my grades went down, drinking, smoking and all kinds of things. I had just moved to a new town 2 months before my 13th b-day and poepel didnt really like me. They judged me and were realy mean to me. And I hated it. I have been talking back to my mom, anad I cant help it. The workds just come out. Could the fact that poepel were mean to me be part of the behaviour? Or is it just normal stuff that teens go trough? I also think I might have Bi-polar disorder.. But my mom said that the way I acted is becasue Im a teenager and things are changing.. but i dont know if thats really it or if i really have it. But anyway.. I was just wondering if I was a normal teenager..
Sorry for the stupid question.. I just dont want ot be different, I want poeple to liek me, but they dont they just judged me right away.. and I started going through things and I didnt know if it was normal.

I think you are pretty mature to even recognize the changes you are going through right now. I moved to a new town when i was thirteen and i wasn't accepted at all. I became anorexic, used drugs, became very rebellious towards my parents ,and did lots of things i am not proud of now. I think alot of it was just to fit in.
I wish then that i had realized that you shouldn't worry about what other people think of you. Be yourself and you will make friends in time.If you need someone to talk to, try a counselor or something.I promise that what happens right now will not seem so major in the future. You won't be a teenager forever. Focus your time and energy on the things that you are good at and the things that make you happy. the rest will come later

Being a teenager is extremely hard!!! Because your not yet grown but your not a kid either!!! And your hormones go crazy also. It sounds like your rebelling against something!!! Are you mad that you moved? Do you not get to spend a lot of time with your parents? You have to figure out the source of your problem. I went through the same exact thing, but I knew that I was rebelling and I knew why I was doing it. I didn't stop until I had no choice but to stop. I also had an eating disorder that almost killed me. Once you have figured that out you need to explain it to your parents and apologize to them. Second, you need to get involved in some school activities such as: (volleyball,basketball,softball,year book club,drama class, band,tennis,track ect.) or find a hobby besides shopping. Third, stay focused in school and don't let the lack of friends hold you back or drag you down. I realized that when I made better grades that I had more friends and study partners and NO I was NOT a dork!!! Fourth, earn your parents trust back by being good. Your only a kid with hardly any worries once in a life time. Enjoy life and your parents aren't going to be around forever so be good for them and get to know them!!! Do more activities with your mom!!! Good luck, Honey!!!

I didn't try all of the smoking and drinking stuff, but I did all of the other things. You sound pretty normal to me. I know that at this age it's important to fit in with other people your age, but doing that stuff won't really help. You don't have bipolar (at least it doesn't sound like it), but it sounds like you could use some real friends. What are your interests? Why not get into some sports or something like that?

yes, it's normal. statistics of age or social groups isn't the best standard to determine the coarse of masturbating. it's personal to everyone. some people experience it even before becoming a teenager and some people experience it really late, like in their early 30's. no need to feel ashamed. it's better if it's not like everybody else. that's why it's unique and it should be special because it has personal meaning to you; to your life.

lol, if ur a normal teen i guess im not. ive never drank alcohol, (except some strawberry daquri) never smoked, (my parents do and i hate it) havent snuck out (my parents would kill me), and ihave a 4.0 GPA and have since 3rd grade. but i do get in trouble for backtalking. i know, u say sumthin, and ur like, 'woops, did i really just say that to my mom. ' and then keep going. ihate it. im 14 too. and its not a stupid ?, most teens are wondering it too. as long as u dont have sex u should be good. maybe u have ODD, i do, check it out.

yes you are a normal teenager the reason why you most likely are acting out is because you want to be liked you should just be yourself give people a chance to get to know you when people judge you it's because they don't really know you and are just assuming things just go with the flow and let things be the way they are meant to be

Lol cute, you sound just like me. of coarse its normal. its you growing up trying to experience life. wait till your like 16, thats when it gets wild. but try to not over do it. i dont know your parents, but if theyre like my friends you might end up homeless. i have homeless friends with felonys and warrants out for them, so be smart and do good, not super smart just try to pass high school and not get pregnet, and by the time your 18 itll all be good!
