i've always been this way, but lately i feel it more than ever: i'm extremely moody and can say the meanest things to people, only to regret it and think about what i've said for hours when they're gone. i feel very sad, to the point where i'll feel sick. my parents and sister dont take me seriously when i tell them that i think there's something wrong with me. I get into many fights with my parents, and they always threaten to kick me out, although i'm only 16. i've had a really bad childhood, and i can't stop thinking about some things. i havent sleps these past two night, although i'm exhausted. I dont know what to do about my moods. at times i feel extremely mad, but i'll feel cheery within a minute. i feel really lame talking about htis but i have no idea what to do. i feel invisible compared to the attention my big sister gets, and at times i wish i could get so sick, that they'd feel sorry for always yelling at me and threatening me.
what should i do, i wanna be happy

You've taken the first step in "recognizing" your "own behaviors". I commend you for that. This is a huge first step in seeking help.
I am guessing that your parents or family will not support you seeking professional help. You state you are 16 years old. My recommendation is that you speak to a trusted adult in your school and see if they have a person on staff that you can speak with about what you're feeling.
If you are uncomfortable doing this perhaps you can search online for an 800# or crisis line - perhaps they can point you in the direction of a person/group that can offer you assistance.
Good Luck to you -

Have you ever considered speaking to a doctor or a counsellor? It would be a good start because they could tell you your options and help you work out what is causing you to feel this way. It may be something to do with your past, as you say you had a difficult childhood.
Good luck I hope you feel better soon!

Yelling is a way of releasing built-up tension.... We don't generally release this built-up tension on the person who caused it, but rather on the first person seen or heard. Try smiling, grinning from ear-to-ear showing all of your teeth when someone decides to hollar at you. Say: "I still love you anyway" or "Do you feel better now?"

You should definitely get some help. I'm no shrink, but everybody needs some help now & then. For a start, try your guidance counselor at school.
Good luck!

I think you may have PTSS post tramatic stress syndrom. I have it I also had a bad childhood. They tried to tell me it was bipolar but then when i talked to the physologist she changed the diagnosis.

no you are not sick . i was like you when i was 16 .. why would you want attention ? is that really important for u ?
just don't argue with everybody .....it is just you are 16 teen your hormones are changing
don't go to doctor .... he/she will prescribe you Antidepressants which will make you really sick in long term ,,,,,,,(you will be smiling for no reason)
if you would be sick yuor parents would take you to doctor
get involved with a hobby . you will be fine soon
