Great, Happy Cheeks! They will probably talk to you without telling mom. I don't think you are an attention-seeker. You are depressed and feeling bad and need attention for that. Quite a difference from someone who just wants everyone to revolve around them and flatter them with attention. You came here, where you can be anonymous; get help from others who have been in similar situations and can sympathize with you. See the difference? You are OK. Hugs!
