DEAR AMY: A few months ago, I lost two very close relatives.
After their deaths, which were only about a week apart, I felt depressed for weeks.
I understood this was part of the natural grieving process and tried to deal with it myself. I didn't think it was that important.
It has been more than four months and I still don't feel like I used to.
Recently, I have been extremely emotional.
I feel like crying for no reason, and I go off at the drop of a hat.
My parents have noticed my bouts of rage, and they believe it's teenage angst.
I believe I started to feel like this even before their deaths.
I don't know how to tell my parents because I don't want them to feel like they don't provide enough for me or that I'm ungrateful.
They give me everything I want. I'm sure if I asked them to give me the shirts off their backs, they would.
I don't want to go to my school counselor because they call you down while you're in class, and I don't want everyone to know that I need help.
What should I do? -- Troubled Teen
