Questions Unanswered

Since the last time back in November that I posted so much has happened. I was overwhelmed by severe acne, I was dealing with a great deal of emotional turmoil, I found a passion, I was confirmed, I passed my freshman year, lettering twice (technically three times), finishing with a 4.0, finding a girl... whom I still call my girlfriend. It's been a relentless mix of emotion, struggle. I believe every teen feels this way, or at least I hope they do ;) I don't know what to think. Does feeling this way make me "weird" does inflecting upon my emotions with this degree of sincerity make me different from other teens? Why do other people not express themselves? Ask yourself when did it become inappropriate to show you care, to show you are responsible, to show you want to excel, to show you love... Why have these things become points which so many teens laugh at and dismiss as being a prep, jock, pop, or emo? Any and all these traits can be used to describe any and all these stereotypes... huh? It makes no sense to me, does simply asking these "seemingly forbidden" questions make me one of the above?
