Hello, : Hello, a doctor can evaluate you to determine the cause of your fatigue. There can be many reasons for feeling exhausted. Just a few: anemia, problems with thyroid function, depression or stress, low vitamin d, low carnitine, infections and other other endocrine problems. Sometimes in a busy family, it can be hard to get to everything. However, making this a priority is important. You can show your parents these comments if it would be helpful.
