Teenage Gloomies

When a teenager is feeling gloomy for one reason or another. Can deal with love, homework, or other typical teenage problems, like mood swings in general. Will usually pass in a couple days or less. Sometimes lasts longer, the bigger the issue.

Does not have to do with life-changing problems, like parents divorce, death of family members, etc.
