Emotional blunting is an aspect of my own experience of depression. I would hope that your "smarty-pants type of high school" would have discrete counseling services. Of course, if this is a private, tuition-based school, then they may have an obligation to inform your parents. This is nevertheless something to investigate.
Welcome, and please keep posting.
