Curious as to what makes you think that there is anything "wrong" with the Sun?!

Well first, explain what you think is wrong with the Sun. That would be the starting point in information you seek. One cannot help educate without first a baseline of your current knowledge or belief on the subject.
Do you think something is wrong because we have solar flares? Because of their magnitude? Because of what do you think is exactly wrong?
I am not trying to be obtuse here.

Heya Cheesy... I know you're sincere in asking, so I looked this up and saved it to share. It's a chart showing the projected/expected line of sunspot activity (red) and the actual sunspots (dots) along the current trend line (blue).
The M class pops are interesting, especially since it could keep rising...but then, it could go silent again too (and probably will..). It's been an unusually quiet period, compared to what had been expected though.
Oh.. I dug up another one for ya too..
That one shows the general trends over time.
