I didn't tell my parents.
I confided in my geography teacher in high school and had a duty to tell our schools child protection officer, who in turn informed my parents.
I had a chat with my parents when I got home and they tried their best to understand. My Mum understands a lot better now than she used to but my Dad doesn't understand it. He used to get really angry when I hurt myself but I know that was because he was worried and felt helpless.
