Crisis text line has trained counselors to listen to you vent without necessarily talking about suicide or suicidal ideation, though these programs are also not geared towards teens in particular. 

The National Alliance on Mental Health has hotlines that you can call, text, or email during the workweek, though these are not focused on teens.
