have you never heard of PMS? sounds like youre getting your period and just not going to the bathroom enough.
there is a condition though, where young girls start menopause incredibly early. not very common though.

no, its not possible, maybe your pregnant.

It is HIGHLY rare that your already at the menopause at the age of 18. That usually happens at the age of 50. And thats quite a way away yet.
“one of the 110,000 British women have experienced it prematurely, some – in rare cases – as young as 12!”.
Its most definatly just your period.

It’s very, very rare and usually due to another medical problem. Go see a doctor.

it’s possible, but very very unlikely. if your symptoms continue to be a problem i’d talk to your doctor.

its unlikely your going through the menopause. are you still having a period? its quite normal to feel that way at certain stages of your cycle, but you could be pregnant. take a test and if you still have bladder problems in a few days or it gets worse see your doctor.
edit: if your period is late then you should take a test. there are lots of reasons you could be feeling the way you do though. but rule out pregnancy first x

I’ve read that early menopause can be common in women who are identical twins. Are you a twin?
Is there a chance you could be pregnant? Have you had unprotected intercourse?
I think mood swings are pretty common in teenage girls. Hopefully you are just over-analyzing the situation.
For the bladder leaks, maybe you should start Kegel exercises, that may help.

They don’t call it menopause, its called POF – Premature Ovarian Failure. I was diagnosed at age 21.
Here’s more info on POF:
Good Luck!
