Why do my parents not let me get help?

They're abusive, or they don't accept that you need it, or they can't afford it. Either way if you feel like you need it, you should search for it.

Maybe they do not understand how much you need the help. Maybe you can get them to understand how important it is for you to get help.

Sometimes they want to be that help and be the first people you ever come to, and sometimes they are in denial that you need help other than them.

Maybe your parents are afraid of people thinking they are bad parents because you need help from the outside. Maybe they don't understand or want to understand that you are really in need. That's not an excuse for not letting you get help though.

First of all, maybe they would let you get help if you explained it better. Although parents are only human, and to err is human. They might never be able totally understand you, or that you need help. Try and explain it better, try to communicate. If it doesn't work, then find another person, maybe school counselor or teacher, or someone you trust, and tell them about it. If all else fails, study how to help yourself by yourself, and help yourself.

There are many reasons. Some parents never had to go through what you were going through, and they just don't understand. Some may think it is a waste of time or too expexnsive. Make sure you tell them everything you can so they can try to get the best understanding of what's going on. If they know that you really need help, they will get it for you.

I think parents want to think their child is perfect. It's easier for them to pretend that there isn't a problem because they might feel like they did something wrong. Sometimes being persistent with them and showing them literature can help them understand why you need to help for whatever troubles you. If not, you can get help on your own through internet, community and school services

With every generation, the world changes. Your parents are raising you based on an outdated version of what THEY believe is the right way to navigate life - and that sometimes can make it difficult for them to understand a lot of the things that you're struggling with or are challenging for you. The world may have been easier, or at least less complicated when they were your age, so it's impossible for them to imagine the tremendous amount of stress you might be going through with the current demands of a 24/7 school and social life both online and in the physical world. This is not an unnatural or uncommon occurrence, but it certainly is a sad one. In short, your parents are likely to not get you help because they don't think your problems are real/you're too dramatic, or because they don't think therapy and other resources are worth the money since you're not physically sick with some disease. In rarer cases they might simply feel like they're unable to afford it, or that they'd be "validating" your "spoiled" self or whatever. If you're not yet of the age of majority in your country it's important to call helplines or go through your school counselors and other trusted adults you might have access to beyond your parents; there are a lot of resources that can help you even on a budget or without approval from parents.
