A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be honest: Be honest with your parents. I would show them where you have cut yourself. Explain to them what your symptoms are. What is your mood like? Any problems with sleep? With appetite? With energy level? With substance abuse? Any thoughts of suicide? If so, is there a plan? Do you feel an urge to carry out suicide plans? Be frank and ask for help.
