I would recommend trying something like painting or drawing. I know that some of the people I know who experience mania use these as distractions and things to do to keep busy. I draw shade and sketch myself but some prefer paints.
In terms of dispersing some of your energy, going for a jog or dancing to music is an idea that may help - Or, if you can afford it, a gym membership or rowing machine.
Sorry for not having better ideas - It is not something I experience much myself...
Do keep your parents informed. It sounds like they want to help?
