you'll probably hate me saying this, but at 16 your hormones are having a right mental time of it, and it's totally normal to have fairly severe mood swings or short periods of feeling low. longer periods are not normal.
doesn't mean you have to put up with it though. have a chat to your doctor and see if he can do anything.
Big *hugs* to you, sweetie - it's horrible feeling like this. Just thought I'd give you some links that might help you understand depression a bit better - like Kaffrin said, it may well be a case of hormones all over the place, so I certainly wouldn't diagnose yourself - if you still fel that it might be a serious problem after reading these links try speaking your doctor.

you should see a doctor if this has been constant for over 2 weeks.
im the same, i have no idea why im like this. Nothing bad happened to me, no traumatic events in my life, a caring mum, house to live in, nice boyfriend, nice car, job etc...
It is worth going to see somebody about it though. you're not wasting anybodys time.
