Crying and sad a lot of the time...?

Question

Well i'm a 14 yr/old teen and i don't know why but i seem to be sad. I often question my existence and wonder what the h**l i'm doing here. I just watched this movie bridge to terabithia and started to cry when they found out the girl died and im a guy and i don't know if this is normal. I always criticize myself when i skate because i have high expectations of myself and for some reason i envy kids my age who get to be in movies and i feel like it isn't fair. I know this might be part of being a teen but i'm really sick of being like this the whole time..

Answer 1

im 16 moving on 17, and ive been through it all.

My scenario was basically this; i got into "the cool group" at school, one of the popular ones and you basically hide the real you behind a mask. To be honest i was in a case where i cared to much what people thought of me and not being true to myself. A man with emotions is a real man, one who hides is just being unloyal to himself.

If your anything like me, your hiding behind a mask and the longer you stay there the worse it gets.

I feel now that if im honest about myself, ie showing my emotions i feel better at the end of the day knowing im being true to myself. I envy alot of people also, but thats part of growing up, seeing both the fortunate and the unfortunate. Yes you may envy people who are making millions at your age, but some kids our age dont get the prilvages we get. Try to look on the brightside.

And back to my mask scenario. Hiding behind a mask does not help you at all, if your friends are true friends, they will accept you for who you are. I cry in sad movies, i laugh at comedies, heck i even get the scare from thrillers. but at the end of the day im being true to myself

Thats a scenario from my life, not sure if it relates to you at all. But hopefully it will shed some light onto you. Good luck living, Connor. :)

At 14, for both boys and girls, your hormones are all over the place.  This makes you emotional and makes your body all awack.  Just realx, in a few yesr they will all settle down.

However, if you feel that you are unable to deal with this, talk to mom, have her schedule an appoinment with your doctor.  They will be able to give you some meds that will ease your transistion.

Answer 5

All boys cry and you are at the age where things are changing and... yadiyadiyadi.  I know a lot of boys that I went to school with who cried.  It doesn't mean you are a wus, or g*y, the sensative guys get the girls in the end you know  ; )  they think about others.  I've seen mahy grown men cry too.

We all question our existance, as i think we should, why ARE you here?   Try to find some little purpose for now, walk your dog, volunteer, or join a club, find a youth group at your local church... You don't have to figure it all out now though.  Enjoy being young.  If you are really struggling with depression (especially thoughts of hurting yourself, or others) get help.

You should understand one thing, before you live another day, my boy... Life Is Not Fair!  it is as simple as that.  That is one of the first lessons children should learn, it would save a lot of heart-ache.  

P.S.- that movie was heartbreaking when she died crossing the river... i think i cried too.

Answer 6

Your at an age where everything is changing inside you. hormones are going crazy and what your experiencing is normal. Try to keep things in prespective.  Those hollywood kids may seem lucky, but most are very unhappy and hate the life they live. Enjoy life, the best is yet to come.

Answer 7

off yourself.
