ok so i never thought about this but on occasion i have deja vu. like sometimes i'll have it and i'll have this feeling that i had deja vu about this before in this same situation. and no, i have never been in the situation before. this is normal right? it's kind of hard to explain.

Yes, it's a temporary slowing of the visual cortex.
One eye gets information to the brain nanoseconds before the other. Our brain does a very poor job with time. All your brain knows is that this has happened before, I just can't remember exactly when. Then you thought processes begin to place your "deja vu" into a category, this usually gets tied to a similiar experience as your brain fills in the missing or incorrect details.
It's the same way we get fooled by optical illusions, our brain adds in or overlooks the errors.

deja vu probably occurs when a brain signal goes through a memory centre when it wasn't supposed to giving one the sensation that one has been here and done this before.
I think that this is more likely than time travel and other exotic explanations.

yes it is normal in adolescence but not too much ( researches shows that if you always have deja vu you also may have schizophrenia)

It happens to a lot of people (probably everyone) at some point, so yes, it's normal.
What causes it exactly, isn't known.

yes totally!
a popular theory is that a situation could be totally new but your brain processes it twice accidentally.
