Emotional issues?!?!?
Is there something wrong with me? It seems that I feel much stronger emotions than other people, for instance, when I get happy, I get this weird energy that I can absolutely not resist, and sometimes someone can give me so much as a minor insult, and sometimes just a random comment that will rub me the wrong way, and I'll burst into tears, I'll get this really deep grief that makes it impossible to stop crying. But the worst is the anger. I can control my anger fine, but it is absolutely unimaginable. It is rage so deep, that sometimes, to make up for not punching someone in the face, I have to go punch a pillow, or break things. Can you please help, or at least give me an explanation??

When people have such strong emotions remember, as happy as they can feel is equally low. So if you have those strong feelings for being happy, when someone says something jus the slightest thing will get you really low.
You are very sensitive, so am I but I always used it when I was younger as a learning tool. If you can learn to not wear your heart on your sleeve so its up for grabs then you can protect your emotions from being hurt. And it seems like a lot more people today are out to hurt others than when I was young - 50 years ago or so. I always had to replay things in my head and evaluate it to see if it was something that I should get upset about or whatever, so I learned well how to not act instantly and that has helped me.
If you are experiencing the really wide mood swings frequently and they affect your life to where you cannot function normally, then you need to talk to a professional. Otherwise you can learn how to put everything on hold until you evaluate it before acting. It takes some work to master having the automatic responses, but it is possible. I always tell myself that I have to pick my battles because I don't have energy to fight all of them and some aren't worth the effort. I will wait at least overnight before I address something or the person who made me feel like garbage and it give me a chance to make sure I am not acting impulsively and I can then have control over the situations that come my way.

Mood swings, pretty much.
It sounds like you're having a hard time trying to keep your emotions steady. Have you told any of your friends or even your parents about this?
I'd talk to a professional about it. Maybe they can help you with your issues.
I'm sorry you're feeling this way - but I hope things get better soon!

It is likely due to an emotion regulation disorder -- specifically borderline personality disorder. Seek a professional opinion.

you need to reduce your moodswings, could be from hormones
to relax and calm yourself, breathing is important. avoid rapid shallow panting and do breathe deep and slow, also called diaphram breathing, this is calming and is good for you
have a stretch often. pleasant daydreams will distract and relax you
any type of exercise also helps, especially long walks

On the cross Christ Jesus shed his blood and he became sin so that you may become righteous in God’s eyes. He wants you to experiment joy, peace, and justice. That’s why he came, but it’s up to you if you want to take the decision to change and believe in Jesus Christ. He said if you want to experience it first you must repent. Take a decision not only to ask God to forgive you, but make a decision to turn away from your sins. When you do it the kingdom of God won’t be in the reach of your hands, but will come within you Jesus said.
“Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you in prayer asking for the forgiveness of my sins. I confess with my mouth and I believe with my heart that Jesus Christ is Your son, and that He died on the cross at Calvary that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Father, I believe that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask You right now to come into my life and be my personal Lord and Savior. I repent of my sins and will worship You all the days of my life. Write my name in the book of life. In the name of the father, son, and holy spirit amen.”
