You're still very young and you're still going through puberty, so you're hormones are going to be slightly erratic. It's possible that your good mood and flirting is down to that. There's nothing wrong with being happy of course, but the flirting, you'll have to tone down.
It's difficult to stop yourself, but you're clearly aware that flirting with co-workers and your boss isn't good. It's good that you recognize that. It'll take time, but you have to control yourself and stop yourself from flirting. When you're at work, remember that you're in a professional environment; no matter what your job is, you're there to earn money. So talk and work with the others by all means, but concentrate on getting on with your job and stay focused on that. Not easy, I know, but there's not much else you can do. Good luck.

You might be able to classify this in the category of puberty but not a second one. Puberty can be years long so your body could still be changing. As for controling yourself you just need to think about what you are doing first. Make a mental note to yourself about not being flirty so much.
