Being “moody” means your emotions change quickly – you might feel happy one moment and sad or irritable the next. This is super common during puberty! Hormones fluctuate, your brain is developing, and you’re dealing with lots of changes and stress. Your moods might shift with your menstrual cycle too. It doesn’t mean you’re difficult or broken – your body and mind are growing.
