I think that Pinksoil's point is that most of us, at age 14, could have said some similar things about our emotions and behaviors. I'm very stable now, but I was full of angst and anxiety and was very sensitive to rejection at 14. I wouldn't repeat those years for a billion dollars. The good news is that the age/hormonal thing DOES improve as one gets older. Adulthood has been a piece of cake compared to adolescence.
