I was wondering is it ok to be sad about random things

Yes, totally! It's super normal to feel sad about what seem like random things sometimes and it happens to like, literally everyone. Your feelings are real, even if you can't point to one super clear reason why you're feeling them.

Okay so sometimes it's because of hormones, like when you're getting close to your period. Your hormone levels are changing a lot then and that can make your moods feel all over the place, like one minute you're fine and the next you're crying because you saw a cute puppy video. For real, it's a thing, and it's called PMS. Other times, it's just normal growing-up stuff, your brain is changing and you're learning tons of new things every day and that can be a lot.

It's important to be kind to yourself when you feel like this. And if you have the Soso app, you can track your mood every day, so you might start seeing patterns, like maybe you always feel a little more sensitive right before your period. It can help you understand why you're feeling what you're feeling and that can make it feel less random, which is kind of cool.
