Hi. The question here is not whether you are depressed or not; the real question is that you know some symptoms and they need to be treated. You can see a counselor in your school or go see a psychologist/counselor outside school. Talk to your parents about it and see what could be done next.
Labeling yourself as someone having depression won't help you, right?
Next Steps
Talk to your parents/guardian. See a school counselor or a counselor outside school. You can contact me or my organisation and we will be happy to help you.
Health Tips
Online tests are not 100% reliable, especially mental health related quizzes. When I do testing, I don't reply 100% on it, there are other factors involved which these online tests don't take into consideration. So, don't look for a label but look for help for your symptoms. Good Luck !

Feeling low, having crying spells, sleep and appetite disturbances, and difficulty in concentration and attention are some of the signs of Depression. Consult a Psychiatrist for a detailed assessment. It is likely with medication and counselings the symptoms will improve. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless consult a Psychiatrist immediately.
