Re: telling my parents -

Hey there,
As long as your emotional well-being would not be harmed by telling them, I think you should consider being open with them about. There are a lot of people who do not understand mental health or things like self harm. Due to this they might make insensitive comments. However, when they find out that someone they love is struggling they can, sometimes, take steps to change and learn.
If you are really nervous about talking to them, you might be able to talk to your school psychologist and ask them if they can help you talk to your parents about your struggles. I believe that some school psychologists are willing to do this.
If you are unable or uncomfortable with utilizing the school psychologist, it might help to print out some informative information about self harm so that your parents can read through it.
Best regards and please let us know how it goes.
