I would just go to the hospital and say to them how I'm feeling and then they can call my parents and ask!. If you are feeling that bad then do want you think is best!. If you think your parents will say yes then talk to them first!. But they don't know want you are going though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
in most places you have to be a legal adult (age 18) to check yourself into a hospital ALTHOUGH if you go to the ER or a therapist or call a hot-line and tell them that you are going to harm yourself and you need to be in a hospital to get better then they will keep you in a safe place and call your parents or someone would could check you in and you most likely would be able to go get the help you need

If you are a danger to yourself or others, the emergency room will admit you to the psychiatric ward, After that your parents will be responsible for your care and it is up to them whether or not the want to send you to a hospital!. Most hospitals will not accept you without some form of insurance, which your parents must have for you (either private ins!. or medicaid)!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
