My parents don't know anything, I find the whole subject very uncomfortable with them. When I was 16 my school rang my parents to tell them they thought I might be depressed (the school never discussed this with me), my mom especially thought it was hillarious and told all her friends how stupid it was and that I didn't look depressed to her (you get good at pretending). That was really the nail in the coffin for talking to them about it. They've never been people I've confided in so I don't feel I need that support now, and even if they turned in to warm fuzzy people I still wouldn't want it.
It's hard though, when things are going on and you have to constantly hide things, both emotional and physical from them. Every time I go home to visit I hope they won't find my meds, or see any cuts. If I go shopping with mom she still insists on sitting in my changing room while I try things on, aargh!
