It is a tricky subject.
The law says that they don't have to, however they are not subject to anything that restricts them from telling your parents. Also your school will have a policy for this kind of thing and its most likely that involving your parents will be one of these policies. If you don't want your parents to find out only speak to medical staff and counsellors as they will tell nobody without your permission.
