Answer 1

Do you have a counselor at school? If so, set up an appointment with them. Tell them that you're not considering killing yourself, but that you've been thinking about the idea of suicide a lot lately, and it's starting to worry you. Then, ask them to speak to your parents about taking you to see a therapist. Your parents will be a lot more likely to see that it's a real problem if it's another adult speaking to them, and hopefully they'll take it seriously... but if it don't, you can probably continue to speak to the school counselor when you need to.

I've been where you are, and I understand how scary it can be, so I sincerely wish you the best of luck. <3

Answer 2

I'm sorry to hear about this, but I would suggest that you seek some type of help.

I'd also suggest that you try to explain this to your parents and perhaps they can help you get the help that you may be needing at this time.

If you are in school, maybe a guidance councilor can provide you with some assistance as well.

I would like to wish you luck!
