Glad to hear that: you talked to your folks. Please talk w/your guidance counselor at school, an aunt or uncle, anyone who will listen and help your folks to understand that you need a professional evaluation. Sometimes it hard for those closest to us to understand what is really happening. It doesn't mean they don't care. Peace and good health. You can also make your own apt w/you doctor.
