if you're at school i take it that you are still in your teens? you have been so brave dealing with all of this by yourself, but i think you are right in that now is a time to reach out for more support.

do you think you could write your parents a letter? i was always a bit scared of my parents' reaction, so what i did was to write my teacher (someone i trusted a lot) a letter, and then she contacted me, and we talked it over, and then she was with me when i told my parents.

it was good that way because then they couldn't dismiss it, and it meant that i got the support i needed.

does this sound workable to you?
