Puberty itself does not cause depression, but from the point that a female hits puberty on, she is more likely to become depressed. Women are twice as likely as men to experience major depression. Depression mainly occurs during adulthood (20-40), but depression in children is becoming much more common and being seriously considered by specialists. Depression in young women and teens is unfortunately common. More than 10% of the population is dealing with depression. It is believed women are more prone to depression because of the unavoidable hormonal fluctuations that happen during puberty and womanhood. Women are most prone to depression after childbirth, which is known as postpartum syndrome.

While it is not "normal" in the sense that everyone gets it, it is quite common due to the increased and fluctuating hormone levels. You have nothing to worry about.
