Hey!

First of all, welcome to the site I'm glad you decided to look for help here. Since we're not professionals and none of us know you, no one on the site could tell you for sure whether you're depressed, but what you described really does sound like depression. If you really don't think you can tell your parents, you should try to tell a different adult in your life, like a trusted teacher or a school counselor. School counselors can be really helpful, but know that if they think you're a danger to yourself or others, they're required to tell your parents. If you really don't feel comfortable telling an adult, tell a friend you can trust. Even having one person who knows and can help you would be really good for you. Other than that, try to keep your mind off things with work or hobbies. Staying distracted and involved in things can help.

If you ever need someone to talk, even if it's just to chat, my inbox is always open. I hope this helps you out!
