a teen is a lot like riding a roller coaster. It can be both lots
of fun and very hard at the same time. As a teen, it is normal for you to:
- feel confused
- have mood swings
- be scared
- worry that others won't accept you
But just because being a teen is normal does not mean it is easy. It can be even harder when you are dealing with an illness or disability. There is a lot to learn when you have a health issue, but there are steps you can take to cope. To read more about coping, check out "Dealing with a Health Condition."
Read on to get a better idea of what's going on with your emotions, find important
tips for getting through tough times, and learn about depression.
