In the past I've had some really supportive teachers that were there for me if I needed to talk about things. Initially, my parents were called and told about my struggles but after the initial time they weren't called again unless I was in danger. Teachers are mandated reporters, so they're required by law to tell someone of higher authority if you're harming yourself. Don't let that discourage you though! Yes, they legally have to report it, but that doesn't mean they will. It all depends on the person. A lot of people don't want their parents to know, and I respect that but it honestly isn't a bad thing. It'll enable you to a lot of help and you deserve to get help for what you're going through.
