Also since you didn't have a full teenage experience when you actually were a teen perhaps you want to have it now.
I have said this before but I think that the teenage years (particular up until age 17) are the best years of your life.

I have heard that before and always strongly disagreed. My teen years were terrifying, unstable, and overwhelming. I hated being a teenager.

I'm thinking of getting pink and blue streaks in my hair if that makes you feel better.

Haha, it does. A little.

She's written some good poems, though. I don't know about making it stop. I think you just have to go through it.

I don't like it!
It's making my relationships chaotic because of all the emotions, especially the anger and ultra-sensitive touchy aspects. And the freaking crushes. All the freaking crushes. All the time.
I just feel really foreign, like I don't know this person. I have never allowed my sensitive aspects to come out, and now they're all over the place. And it's confusing.
But I guess being a teen is confusing the first time around, too.
