Some times I feel like I was born with the wrong identity. Other times I don't feel anything. Then all of a sudden I get these urges to be the other sex I would like to know if this is a mental thing that I just start thinking about every once and a while or is there something wrong with me that I m going to have to face in the next couple of years?

Mike,
Have you checked on the Internet about transsexual issues and whether or not you may be?
Reading up on it sounds like a good thing to do.
You may just be conflicted, because as you say, one minute you feel that way, the next you dont.
Best,
Clyde
Mike, if you are a young man who is maturing physically, then these feelings are quite normal. Fears of being normal and wondering what if, especially when the brain begins to process all the changes and feelings you are expressing are also normal in the maturing person.
I wouldn't worry about it, and try to just allow yourself to mature. There's plenty of time to make decisions about sexuality. It shouldn't be a main focus of your life at this point.
take care
