Having your emotions fluctuate during puberty is completely normal. Many young people will experience mood swings at some time during puberty. There are, however, ways to keep your emotions in check. For example, you can:  Take a moment to calm yourself. Try taking a few deep breaths and letting out your air slowly.  Cry. It is totally okay to cry and sometimes it can be cathartic. Letting go of your emotions occasionally can be very helpful. If you find yourself crying constantly, however, or being consistently sad, talk to a parent or doctor. When you are a teenager, you are facing new academic responsibilities, changing friends, potentially more extra-curricular activities. It can become overwhelming. If you are feeling stressed, take time to slow down and try one of these activities:  Watch a funny show. Swing at the playground. Listen to your favorite music. Take a bubble bath. Play a musical instrument like the piano.  Do karaoke on a streaming site like YouTube. It can be therapeutic to write about your feelings and emotions. Oftentimes, after writing about your problems, you can contextualize them better. Perhaps you see that a problem isn’t as bad as you initially thought. Writing can help you calm down and express your creativity at the same time. Some of your friends might be feeling the same way. Talk to them about how their emotions have shifted. Your parents or other trusted adults are also good resources. They too have lived through teenage years and can help you address your mood fluctuations. It is healthy for you to release your feelings. You and your friends undoubtedly influence each other. While you are undergoing hormonal changes, stick with supportive friends who will encourage you. Steer clear from friends involved in drugs, alcohol, or other illegal activities. As your hormones change during puberty, it is natural for you to be attracted to other boys or girls. This is healthy! Before engaging in sexual behavior, consider talking to a trusted friend, your partner, or a school counselor about the pros and cons of early sexual activity. If you do engage in sexual activity, be sure to use a condom to help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reminds us that the only surefire way to prevent the contraction of STIs is to abstain from all forms of penetrative intercourse, e.g. vaginal, anal, or oral.
