You have to tell your parents one way or the other and demand for a psychologist, you can take a few tests but do know that these are not real diagnosis tests and it should tell you somewhere on the website, if it doesn't then it isn't as legitimate. Instead, print out your results and show it to your parents with all the questions you've answered.
You might feel this is normal parental-behavior and probably so do others but I see it as condescending and very neglectful. But, parents can also assume that you don't need it because of your behavior at home, if they see you as a typical teenager with normal behavior they will not be able to scrutinize you. From me saying that don't go changing your attitude into a person who has escaped from a mental institution, but parents do depict their judgements based on what they.
Your objectives:
Take a few tests on the disorders you are worried about and print them and your results.
Do some researching on some legititmate website such as this one on the disorder you and I have listed.
If need to, request an appointment to see your school counsellor to refer you to a psychologist under your parents consent. Your parents wouldn't say no to the counsellor, trust me.

I ruled out schizophrenia because I don't hallucinate, but I do have delusions. I can also relate to dissociation (happens many times a day) and derealisation, but the one I can relate to the most is Schizotypal (I have almost every symptom) and I scored 53.5 out of 74 on this ->

I took the schizophrenia test on here and it said I have a high risk of developing it, but I just don't hallucinate. As for the other online personality tests, I scored "very high" on Avoidant, Schizotypal, Paranoid and Borderline and high for OCD.

And for this one I got 90% schizotypal ->

I know it's natural to associate yourself with symptoms you see on the net, but when you can relate to almost all of them, it gets a bit worrying.
Thank you for your advice also, I'm going to talk to my school councellor next week when school starts again.
