I’m a 14 year old boy and have been feeling sad for a while but for no either no reason or a very small reason. Is this normal?
It’s normal if you are a sensitive young man and are experiencing certain issues that could trigger the sadness, like loneliness, feeling unwanted or unloved, rejection, heartache, low self-esteem, etc. I believe that at your age it is very much a normal period in life to start feeling that kind of pain on a deep level. I speak here from experience, as I recall being a depressed young man at age 14, feeling a lot of heartache from my loneliness and rejections in my failed romantic pursuits. In fact I remember penning my first poem on my own at age 14 that described my feelings of inner anguish. It was called “The Boy who Never Smiled.” Yes, a sad teenager I was indeed.You are by no means alone. I know it is very hard to deal with this sadness, especially at such an age, and it’s easier to get overwhelmed or adopt a more restricted perspective about the possibilities of what could make life better. It’s not easy to be a sensitive person— and certainly not easy for any male. Some people might tell you you shouldn’t be so emotional and it’s nonsense because it is merely your nature to be that way. So I completely understand the feelings you’re describing and I believe you are probably more aware of your feelings than other boys your age. Just remember to always be yourself and don’t let anyone else try to make you feel ashamed of your emotional nature. I empathize with you and wish you the best.
I'm a 15 year old boy and I cry a lot. Am I abnormal?
No you are not abnormal . We cry when we feel hurted, stressed or sad. Mostly when we are ignored by someone.I am a teenager of 14 and have seen many of the boys crying. Crying a lot. But that doesn't mean that they are abnormal. Afterall we feel better after crying.Also as it is your teenage, it is the time when your mind is not stable. And it's same with the moods. At a moment you might be laughing and the other you might be crying.And if anyone told you that you are abnormal if you cry a lot, then just ignore that, don't take it on your heart. Do what you want to do, cry or laugh.But if you cry toooo much on very little problems then you must try to control yourself. Sometimes try to hold your tears. “Sometimes not always”. Cause our society thinks a boy must be strong. Crying is a girlish job.So I would suggest that you must cry cause you are free to cry, but also learn to hold your tears sometimes.And of course you are not an abnormal person but a teenager who knows to express his feelings to others.Thanks
I'm a Depressed 14 Year Old Boy?
Ever since the middle of summer I've been getting depressed (so like 5 months now). It's usually on and off like once a week. I've never done ecstasy or any drugs (but I'm starting to think I should because I have no other choice). It happens sort of randomly. Like heres how it happens: 1. I'm alone in my room and then I just start getting a little sad 2. then it gets worse because I just get thoughts of why I'm not social, why I don't have a lot of friends, why I can't get a girlfriend, or why I'm not athletic 3. I start getting so pissed and depressed I start falling into tears 4. I don't eat for awhile I'm not happy with who I am and I can never accept myself. I've been doing soccer for like 5 years but EVERY SINGLE year I suck and my dad even signed me up for a private coach for awhile but I didn't see any results so I gave that up and whats worst is that everyone always picks on me just because I suck at a soccer. I just feel like it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to be good at a sport. So that's one of the many reasons why I hate myself. What I usually do to make myself feel better is: 1.not eating for awhile 2.eating a lot of candy and stuff to give me a sugar rush so I can feel a little less depressed (comfort food) 3. hurting myself (occasionally) I actually though about doing suicide but I know I don't have the guts to do that so that's nothing to worry about. I weigh about 120lbs and I'm 5'4 so my weight is average and I'm not fat or anything, but sometimes I don't eat for awhile and I end up a little skinny. If I tell my parents to take me to a counselor or something for this they'll start being cheap by questioning me and trying to "cure" me themselves. Talking to my parents about this is NOT an option. I have no where else to turn.
Is it normal for 14 year old girls to be sad often?
I’m 14 years old, almost 15 and all I can say is that I feel sad pretty often. Sometimes, everyday. I guess that it's a little normal to feel sad for girls of our age, because we're starting to grow up and we barely know how to control our emotions. However, I can assure you that is a temporary feeling, is not really something that stays for a long period of time. And yeah, it sucks to be sad, and it sucks even more if is just for "little and insignificant things” that might happens to us in our daily life. I guess that we will be capable of control our feelings and thoughts a little bit more when we're older, but for now we’ll be okay just by letting it pass.
Is it okay for a 14 year old boy NOT to masturbate?
Because someone told me that I'm a freak because I did it. How did that person figure out? She asked me (it was really akward). And when I told her I did, she called me a freak. And now I'm really really sad. I actually cried a lot after she called me that. I dont want to be a freak, I really don't! So now I don't want to masurbate ever again. Is it okay it I do that?

17 year old guy, 14 year old girl?
I am a 17 year old guy in high school. A girl came in this year who is more beautiful than could ever be put in words, both on the outside and inside. She has not one ounce of meanness and is so mature and caring, you would think she was older than me. We have gone on a few dates and are so physically attracted it is freaking me out because people are calling me a pedophile and stuff while all we do is kiss and I want her to be my best friend and wait until we can be together. Every time I get close I pull back because of the stupid remarks. Can't we just see each other and not have sex and not lose each other. I have had many girls in my life cause I'm considered good looking but I've never felt love like this and I'm so scared of losing her forever. I've never felt love meaning more than sex and maybe that is what it is. What can I say to the people who tell me not to date her or be her friend.
