Hey amigo,
you're in a tough spot but you better talk to someone and fast. You're very young and now is the time to get a handle on these maladaptive behaviors.

See a doctor, but because you're more than likely a minor it's going to be very hard to keep things on the down low, but honestly as the father of a teen I'd rather know the truth and get to work rather than judge and and think of some sort of discipline. Hopefully your parents will think along those lines also.

Part of maturing is dealing with problems head on and not running or trying to work around them, and I think (and hope) that's what you'll do.

A bit of short term angst is better than a lifetime of trouble and pain.
