Sleeping
Everyone has days when they feel more happy or more sad. You may feel great when your team wins the championship, when you get a good grade on a test, or when you are having fun at a party. You may feel really down when you have an argument with your best friend, when your parents won’t let you go to a concert, or when you don’t get a part in the school play. Normal sadness passes in a reasonable amount of time, and soon you are feeling better again. Depression lasts longer and feels deeper than normal sadness. It may cause you to feel very bad about yourself or hopeless about your future. It may affect your thoughts, your behavior, your appetite, or your ability to
sleep.

Exposure to light and dark has an effect on our bodies. Melatonin, a chemical related to sleep, is produced more when it is dark. Serotonin, a chemical related to feeling good, is produced more when it is light. During the winter months when there is less sunlight, some people’s bodies produce such a great amount of melatonin and such a small amount of serotonin that they can start to feel depressed. Symptoms of seasonal disorders can include depression, irritability, lack of energy, craving for sweets, overeating, weight gain, difficulty concentrating, and decrease of interest in social activities.

Why do people fight?
People hurt each other for a lot of different reasons. Sometimes they . . . • Get mad about really small stuff, like someone borrowing something and not returning it. • Think someone else looked at them funny. • Want to show off, get attention, or feel powerful. • Get bullied or hurt by someone else, like a parent or sibling at home, and take out their feelings on someone at school. • Are afraid of being bullied, so they bully others instead. • Get jealous about a guy or girl. • Are faking a fight, and it turns into a real fight when someone gets mad. • Don’t like someone because of their race. • Don’t like someone who’s gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender.

Crazy can mean having a diseased or abnormal mind, as well as not sensible or logical (that's a crazy idea) or very excited or pleased (i'm crazy about my new car!). Other words you can use instead of crazy:
As long as you are alive, you will experience change. It is a normal part of being human. The world is designed to change; seasons change, weather changes, all living things grow and develop and change over the course of their lives. While adjusting to change is possible, it involves thinking and acting in new ways, which requires time and energy. When you are aware that you need this extra time and energy, you can understand that adjusting to change doesn’t happen immediately. Although this may make you uncomfortable for a while, this feeling is normal and will pass. In the meantime, you can focus on helping yourself through the transition. Practicing this healthy coping action can help you through a time of change. Some preserve and create energy; some release depressive feelings, which require energy to hold inside.
