The night can be a good thing, but also a very dark thing. For me its when my mind is most active. It's when doubt, depression' what I like to call the double D's come into play. I always have this feeling that I'm he only one who feels this way, but I know that teenagers all face this in some form. I guess in a way there is loneliness at night because you face yet another empty bed. Which one day will be filled, hopefully by the same person reppetitively. I also believe that teenagers don't talkto other teens about less positive emotions because there is some sort of stigma attached to it. Hell, I'm typing this post on it and I still feel that way about it. I guess in a way exposing and verbalizing your emotions is looked at as a sign of weekness. But keeping them in does more harm then good, I should know. As this little hiatus due to stress has done more harm than good. It's very easy to be hypocritical in these situations, friends come to me for advice and I give my best but whatever happend to "you practice what you preach?". How can I tell someone to do something for the better when I'm not doing it for myself.
The human body is very good at giving warning signs when somethin isn't right. Ive learned this first hand. Stress causes headaches, upset stomaches, and peculiar thoughts. With this also comes sleep disruptions, which just further enhances the issue. We all hope that it's just a phase and it probably is, but as per usual teenage mid it feels like the biggest world issue at the moment. I gets a lot of help from the people who read' so what doyou do to help with stress?

As difficult as it sometimes is, it always helps me to withdraw myself from all sorts of online/computer activities for a while and occupy myself with more trifling things instead. Or sometimes, I just endure the more lonesome moments. It's not fun when they occur, but when they are over, I have often learned something from them about myself.
Of course there are relaxation techniques - the very simplest of which is to go for a walk and practice emptying your mind. Instead you open your eyes and look around you. This is no speed trial - it's a slow, laid-back wander to let your body and mind relax and give you cause to wonder at the big, wide world in which we live.
When, as an adult, you visit your doctor to complain about stress then you are told to cut down on caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes (if you smoke), drugs (if you take them) and salt. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables but otherwise avoid sugar.
I don't think there's anything particularly teenage about wanting a lover - which is why so many go and get one! What are you waiting for?
Cool nights under the moon. That romantic loneliness. That is the good side. The bad side is the gut-wrenching is there anybody out there (just listened to pink floyd don't judge me) feeling. It is not weakness in my opinion; it's nihilism. And teenagerism. Holden Caulfield ftw!
You all make valid points but I'm still not sure what to do.
