The difference between my head voice and chest voice is too big?

First of all, I'm 14. I don't like my head voice. It's too quiet, no matter how hard I try. I use it only to sing high notes, but when I change from chest voice to head voice, it's easy to notice and my chest voice is louder than my head voice. I like to use chest voice because it can really 'fulfill the room' and it sounds really nice, but when I must start singing higher, I start using my head voice and it sounds squeaky, it's not loud enough and it's weak. I don't know if it has to do something with puberty.

I didn't take any voice lessons, and I won't take them soon cause they cost like 100$ per hour in my country. I'm a part of a church choir and everyone compliments me when I sing, but when I need to sing higher(often), everyone says I just need to be louder. I can't be louder no matter how hard I try, like I said.

    Well, I've had exactly one more voice lesson than you have, but it was a good one. I learned that singing has much in common with two other things we do a lot... laughing and yawning. Think about it... what do you do then, in both cases? You take a deep breath, open your mouth widely, and tip your head back ( mind, if you tip your head back too far you'll strangle your voice).. I like to imagine singing from my heart, both physically and emotionally. At any rate, yawning and laughing are both great warmups, and get your body used to the mechanics of singing.
