Too scared for scoliosis treatment?

I think I have scoliosis because my classmates in PE noticed that my left shoulder was higher than my right one. I am also unable to touch my toes. If this is scoliosis, what should I do? I am too afraid to tell my parents and the idea of painful surgery scares me. Please help.

Update:

I am 14 years old and how would I know how severe it is?
