Puberty & Moods

My son is 13 and he is crying alot and going through something (of which I'm not really sure).  I'm not really sure if he is not feeling well or it is a mood thing.  Has anyone else experienced this agitation and moodiness at around the age of 13?

Okay I picked thye teen health forum. Hopefully you'll get the help you need. If your son is autistic, you can always post again in the autism forum about autistic behavior in relation to puberty.

Yes, nearly every other day at that age.  Moodiness and puberty go together. Do you remember when you went through it?  I know for me I was an emotional rollercoster.... I think you may have been too, but that's just a guess.

I'll see if I can move this to the child behavior forum if it will let me. I don't see anything here that's outside the normal range for a typical 13 year old.
