Hi there,

First of all, it's great that you're willing to tell your doctor about this! I think it could be very helpful.

As for telling your parents, like Dez said, a lot of professionals have a policy which allows them to break the confidentiality rule in the case of a minor who engages in self-harming behaviour. So, she might have to tell them. In the case that she does, don't worry too much about it. She'll be able to explain it to your parents in a way that they'll find it easier to understand. It might be hard for them to take at first, but I'm sure they'll be understanding about it.

I hope things work out, whether your parents are told or not. Take care.
