Is it normal to have this change of thinking?

Well as a young boy and a young teenager i was pretty normal, i had friends and stuff and all was good. I was usually pretty nice and cared about other peoples feelings in an average way. Nowadays, in my late teens, all I want to do is help people. I want to go over to India or Africa and do volunteer work, and want to help disabled people and be the best person that I can be in this world by making it better for others. I have no idea why I am doing this but it just feels like something i want to do. Is it normal to suddenly feel this way?

    Sounds like you're growing up & considering the world beyond just you.

    “There is no greater calling than to serve your fellow men. There is no greater contribution than to help the weak. There is no greater satisfaction than to have done it well.”

    Sounds like you're growing and maturing into a young adult.

    In psychology I learned that around the age of 16 people tend to start thinking differently. I noticed it happening to me not that long ago actually. I've been trying to find my purpose in the world and looking for enlightenment. I also want to help people and just be a better person in general. Hope this helps :)

    I've always felt this way also since I was about 12. I've got children now but my desire is too help in such countries and my own when they are older and have the time. Good for you, you are growing into your awareness around you. Wish there was more people like you

    I don't see the problem. I hope you do it.
