    A doctor has a duty of confidentiality, but at the same time he/she has to act in your best interests. If he/she decides that it's in your best interests then your parents may be told against your wishes.

    However, if you do have depression diagnosed by your doctor then your parents will have to know some time.

    The way you feel could be just a side effect of puberty which can be quite normal in some.
