You'll be very tired and depressed and grumpy but you won't die. My fiance is an insomniac and went 60+ hours without sleep and did OK.

You'll feel extremely fatigued right down to your bones. Your head will feel rather funny or foggy and you might feel a little disconnected. 2 days is not all that long.
If you watch this program on Discovery Channel called "Deadliest Catch" there's almost never an episode when these fishermen aren't up three or four days working under extremely stressful conditions. You will not have hallucinations or become psychotic. You'll just end up being very tired and eventually pass out whether you want to or not.
Sleep is an involuntary body process meaning that it is not something that you consciously control like moving your arm or turning your head. Sleep is more like blinking your eyes or breathing. You don't have to remember or put in conscious effort for these functions as you would running, for instance.
However, I don't suggest that you do this on purpose. I'm responding strictly as someone who is an insomniac and understands how scary it can be.

you know what, i went through that too when i was about 14-15...i just wouldnt sleep. I slept max 2 hours a day. I started getting all yellow and lost a lot of weight. It went on a whole summer. You might have insomnia, you might want to go to a doctor or even take advil pms or tylenol pms. They arent dependant and will make you sleepy.

Due to changes in body chemistry and physical growth issue as well as the normal stress of being a teenager sleeplessness is not suprising.
Try taking a break from (as hard as it may soun) any and all flashin games or TV programs (such as any cartoon) especially before bedtime.
And reelax, it is possible to be so worried about sleep that you can't.

It's happened to me a few times. You'll just feel kind of out of it, a little slow and you might start saying silly weird things and get really hyper or you'll just want to lie on the couch and do nothing. I never hallucinated at 2 days though, takes me a little longer.

This happens when you are doing drugs like methamphetamine. I hope that is not true in your case. If you don't sleep you miss the rem sleep you need and it causes you to hallucinate or dream in a waking state. This is not good. You need to sleep.

yeah. if you can't sleep try turning off the TV and anything that will make you more awake. you need to relax and close ur eyes. lack of sleep for anyone especially a growing young lady will make you sick and also make your ugly and it stunts your growth.
