Advice?

I am 14 and have been getting depressed over the past year or so. I read things in the news, or even when a pet passes away I don't know how to handle it. I get extremely upset, and just cry and scream until I feel like I can't anymore. It keeps me up at night sometimes, I just keep thinking about all the bad in the world and it gets me angry and sad. I know this sounds just whiny and overreacting, but I just want help on how to deal with this. I sometimes get to the point where I end up hurting myself physically because I'm so frustrated with everything. I don't understand why I am so deeply affected by things I read/see in the news because it's not happening to me. It's not like someone I know was murdered, so why is my mind making such a big deal out of it?
I'm almost 100% positive I don't have clinical depression, I just don't know what's up.
Again, sorry if this sounds whiny and like I'm making a big deal out of nothing, but I just want some help.
