Should I consider seeing a doctor?

I'm 14, nearly 15, healthy weight, 6'7' and lately I've noticed my heart racing and my hands shaking. I can hear and feel my heart beat so fast when I'm lying in bed. At the beginning of the year I thought I had depression because I would always be grumpy and would fight with my friends non-stop. Lately my netball team split up, they made a new team without me and now two of my bestfriends aren't talking to me and wont reply to my messages. I feel like I'm about to break down a cry everyday. I think of the worst scenarios when I think of the future. I've been bullied nearly everyday and I'm concerned about my family and their health. In class I listen to music and try ignore everyone. I've joined a gym hoping it would help but hasn't. I want to be happy again and be able to talk to my friends. I've thought about suicide but my family is too important and i don't believe in it much.

Was that a typo,  or are you 6 feet 7 inches tall at 14 years old?  

Does Marfan syndrome run in your family?  It's a neuro-skeletal condition that's inherited that will cause your heart to race among other symptoms as you grow older.

Are you due for a check up when you turn 15?

A rapid heartbeat while resting is not normal and could indicate a serious heart problem, you need to see a doctor to make sure. As for being bullied and depressed you should talk to someone, a parent, sibling , friend; someone who you trust. When you think of the future try and think about what you can do when you finally finish school. University is nothing like high school. The immature bullies you know now won't last long, instructors would kick them out. Ignore the bullies and focus on school, decide what you want to be and go for it.
