To be honest, I think your teacher would tell your parents - but only because he would have your best interests at heart. While their main job is to teach their students, I do believe that some teachers take their jobs even further and will help out a student in need if they are asked. However, if a teacher feels their student is in any kind of danger, I'm sure they would discuss it with higher up staff and eventually parents/guardians.

It is wonderful that you want to confide in someone, you should be very proud of yourself. I can understand you being scared of them finding out but maybe it's time for you to try and reach out and get the help you need to stop? So maybe it won't be so bad if your parents were to find out. You seem to really want help on this.

I am encouraging to discuss this with someone - be it your teachers, parents or a friend. You deserve to live a happy life and not suffer the way you have been. I wish you the best of luck.
