Kaika, I think teens can feel things more deeply and react more intensely. Maybe some seem shallow, but the pangs of first love and first experiences of all sorts are so intense. Feelings of estrangement from family and peers can be hard too. I am glad you sought out therapy and are going to try it. If it helps, wonderful. If it turns out not to be quite what works for you, you can seek further. My 14 y.o. daughter has been in therapy for 13 months now. It has turned out to be a very positive thing for her. I remember when she first went she told me the therapist (a woman) is so old! But now this doesn't seem to bother her.
