This makes me concerned about you. Is there a guidance counselor at your school you could go talk to without your parents knowing? You can check at the office and let them know you would like to see the guidance counselor. Not sure what school you are going to but all mine have had them - and I talked with all of them at every school (elementary, middle, high school, & college). It helped some. There's also hotlines you can call--please do if you are feeling suicidal:
Need help? United States:
1 (800) 273-8255
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
Hours: 24 hours, 7 days a week
Languages: English, Spanish
Website:

I'm glad you found your way to the psych central forums and hope you can find some of the support you need here. There are many here who are going through similar experiences and struggles.
Please stay safe and take care of you first before anyone else.
