Explain that you are serious when you say that you're depressed and that you're not doing it for attention, be honest with them and tell them why you are depressed and what you want to accomplish by telling them.

Just be openly honest with them. They will understand and want to help you because they wont want you to be sad.

Just say that you've been feeling really sad and negative lately and are getting worried about yourself. Maybe mention that you think you could be depressed, or if you think it'd be better, let them reach that conclusion on their own

You can tell the parent you are closest to that you need to talk to him/her alone. When you are together you can tell in your own words that you are not happy and what you truly feel like. Tell in a way to show that you are not really in control and that you need medical help or counselling if necessary and you are agreeable for it.

Write them a letter telling them exactly how you've been feeling lately, what thoughts have gone through your mind, about the research you've done about it, and that you need their help.

Depression is not a thing you should keep to yourself. When you're telling your parents make sure you tell them everything you think is making you depressed. tell them in calm way and you'll be surprised how much they can help

Tell them how you truly feel and ask help from a professional. Know that you will feel better after.
