Ok , So I'm not getting erections due to the meds I'm taking, how do I tell my parents that? I tried to talk to my mom this morning, but then I got nervous and changed the subject before I said anything. So how do I tell them about this situation?

Tell your dad that you normally have an erection when you wake up (which is perfectly normal) and since you've been on medication it's not happening. Tell him you're concerned and want to ask the doctor if that's a normal side effect of the medication, or if something is really wrong.

Don't take your medication if it's for ADHD. They probably gave you ritalin right? Some other ADD med. Those are known to kill boners and shrink penis sizes.
Don't take them, they're being issued to people who don't need them anyway, you'll be a zombie wuss when you grow up if you take those.
If it's medication for your bloodpressure, which is also known to cause impotence, try lowering your bloodpressure in another way before continuing the medication. But seriously, don't take the med if it's for that phony disease, ADHD.

You can tell your father about it.Get a list of side effects and go to him and tell him:"dad do you remember what the pharmacist/ doctor/nurse...told us abou the side effects of this medication? I got one!"
Then show him on the list the side effect you are having.
good luck

1 - Look up the meds on the internet
2 - Print up the offending meds' information, hilighting the side affects,
3 - Hand it to your dad. Say, "Please read" and leave if you're embarrassed.

Look up your medications on the internet. I'll bet it will tell you all the side effects.
