I'm 17 years old. No im not pmsing or anything like that. For the past month i've been feeling so emotional. Like i'll be watching t.v. and the smallest thing like a court case will make me feel sad and ill start to cry. Or someone will be really happy and i'll start to cry. It happens so often now and i dont know why. I'm just getting so emotional. Why is this? Is something wrong with me?

You MIGHT be starting a depressive phase in your life... or your hormones could just be changing (that happens occasionally) You could also be pregnant... best thing to do is consult a Dr.

Whenever I have weepy emotional reactions that I think are out of proportion to the circumstances, I look to see how the current event may remind me of or be related to some actual grief in my life. I think that most of the time the tears and over reaction to a movie are not really about my response to the film, but are more a matter of taking advantage of the situation to vent my real, personal grief about something important to me. It's as though I needed to cry about something and my psyche decides to use that event as an excuse to go ahead and cry. It might not even be a recent thing, but it's usually an important one, and I can usually identify what it probably is.
It could also just be the hormone issue as another responder mentioned. Hormones can do very strange things to your emotions.

Even though you're not PMS-ing (as you said), it's still probably hormonal. At 17 there are a lot of things going on, and your emotions are changing from "kid" emotions to "woman" emotions. It's perfectly normal, so relax and enjoy the roller coaster that is womanhood :)
