How old were you at the time? Because teenage hormones can do amazing things to your brain. It's why I hate when people blame teens for taking things too seriously or being over-sensitive. THE SYSTEM IS WIRED THAT WAY. It's science.

Anyhoo, when my sister was a teen and into the X-Files, what you're describing pales in comparison to her feelings about Mulder and Scully. Girl was insane for four years, I'm pretty sure (well, only in regards to the show. In other areas she was pretty normal and actually seemed to have her shit together more than most of her friends).

Going to agree with this. When Sirius in the HP books died, I basically was literally in mourning. Because hormones. This is the age where girls also flip out if their favorite band is canceled. Assuming you're older and wiser now, I'd give shipping another try.

(I watched Friends two years ago, so I was totally spoiled and knew Chandler was going to have twins with Monica and everything else, but that episode was a bit frustrating mostly for the Idiot Ball factor. I love Chandler/Monica, but some episodes, like this one, do not do their awesome justice. Also, I loved their proposal, but the live audience screaming like a pack of hyenas kind of killed it for me.)

Yep, I think teenage hormones is a huge factor. I was mostly well-mannered but had a couple of meltdowns because of RL stuff. Some people in my age group acted better, and some acted worse on a regular basis.

(Completely agree about C/M frustration in S6. The writers got so lazy about romantic drama by then and kept falling back on "Wait! An evil interloper appears!" Plus the whole thing with Chandler trying to throw off Monica's suspicions by being anti-commitment was just dumb. I think that was around the time the show started having the most behind-the-scenes drama, and it came close to ending then. Part of me is glad it didn't but another part of me would have been satisfied with the show ending at M/C's engagement. And ugh, ITA about the screaming. It was so obnoxious.)

Right there with you about Sirius - I threw my book across my room and cried inconsolably until I feel asleep. It took me a few days before I could pick the book back up and keep reading. I don't ever recall a fictional death hitting me so hard before or since.

I never behaved like that when I was a teen. People who try to excuse being a drama queen or a brat with "it's science, no-one can change it" annoy the heck out of me. You have a brain too, use it.

But they're not excusing being a drama queen/brat-- they're explaining having disproportionate reactions to fictional characters that the OP was heavily invested in. Something that a LOT of teens go through.

Not every teen, no, but that doesn't mean that it's abnormal or unhealthy-- a lot of things can trigger mood swings, and for people whose hormones really go crazy, it can be a real roller coaster, but generally things even out and they don't have the same problems.

I mean, there can also be added effects from lifelong chemical imbalances, but for plenty of teens, growing up comes with really intense emotions, and many young people have a hard time getting them under control, or have moments when they can't control them.

It has nothing to do with being a drama queen or a brat. I was the most teacher's pet, rule-following, perfectly behaved kid I knew, butI cried buckets and buckets over the second season finale of Buffy when I was fourteen and thought I'd never be happy again for months. Hormones can mess you up, even if you have a brain that you use to be a good, mature, straight A student.

Then count yourself lucky.
