However, if the loss is significant, or occurs over an extremely short amount of time, there might be something more going on than "teenage growth." A teen might turn to food for comfort, or turn away from food due to loss of appetite.Insomnia/excessive sleeping: The stereotype of teens is that they love their sleep. However, this could also be due to something more worrisome.
