I am assuming you are young too. How old are you?
One place to start is to try to identify your symptoms. What is different compared to your sunny self. Some of the symptoms of depression are:
Very low energy
Very low motivation
Sleep alot during the day
Have trouble sleeping at night
Low mood feeling sad, or empty, or numb
Low appetite
Lack of self care, don't shower, or shave, or brush your teeth
Google symptoms of depression.
I think it is important you tell your parents. Educate yourself a little first.
